We all do this to ourselves constantly, which is why it is so important to have a spouse who will remind us to cast away the absolute nonsense we impose on ourselves which turns us into someone we especially can not stand. From there, it’s a real downward spiral.

Sometimes I feel sorry for this version of myself, too. Brand new house, too big to keep clean, five children not helping enough, husband messy in different ways than the messy ways I prefer, etc. But your husband is right, and so is mine… it’s because of all we have. All we have that so many people think “If only I had that, my life would be perfect!” I used to be one of those people who thought that way. If I had a nice house and a big new car and… I would never be unhappy about a thing.

Then we get the big new house and the big new car and realize some people have all of this AND they make it look effortless. There we go again not measuring up to other people.

Comparison is a bad, bad thing. I think I was taught this a long time ago. And I forget it pretty much every day.
