[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 243680, member: 3208"] this is a good topic since most of us have these feelings and we can share them here. It helps me to know you all are here and understand and experience these things too. It is hard not to feel envious sometimes--I think it is probably normal! Or, to feel like you are on the outside looking in. I tend to be very frank about my difficult child 1--"oh, what is difficult child up to these days?" My reply: Oh, she lives out in Seattle now and has a new baby and works as an exotic dancer. I say it in the same way someone else would say, "oh, she is a senior in high school now and is on the honor role, taking all AP classes--plans to go to Harvard." I have to admit I like to see what kind of reaction I will get. Jane [/QUOTE]
