My envy for other parents is for the ones who just take relaxation for granted. Like, oh yes I can go to a noisy party and enjoy myself and let my kid run in a pack without tensing at every single noise, wondering if a meltdown is coming.
That said, I have had a few of those outings, now, and I've appreciated them SO MUCH more than parents of 'normies.'
I have house envy but HARD. I am a homeowner, and I'm so grateful for it, but I do covet enough space that isn't crumbling on the edges (old old house) and a less violence (inner city; love my 'hood, I do, but husband was held up at gunpoint in our lawn and assaults happen regularly enough to put me on edge).
