Jealous Friend

Okay, so my friend is pissed off at me because my parents chose to buy my kids school clothes, shoes, backpacks and supplies. They each have at least thirteen new outfits and two new pairs of shoes apiece. She was ranting away on the phone to me about how I shouldn't allow my parents to buy them everything and that they could only afford to buy just a little for their kids. Excuse me? I didn't beg them or ask or anything...they volunteered. Then she goes on and on about how it's bad enough I get $700 a month in food stamps and only have to pay $50 a month for rent for my house and that she saw my parents bringing groceries into my house last week and that they shouldn't do that for me since I get food stamps. I told her they obviously want to do it and have no problem doing it so why run your mouth to me about it? Wow! I'm about to tell her to fuck off!

Then  why did you bring up her talking about those things along with discussing what your parents do for you. Just discuss the parental issue..Simply put, it it's not part of the issue, don't add in it with the issue.

Bottom line. Don't want people in your business. Don't make them part of your business.

And you talk about MY reading comprehension. I said that what my parents do for me and my kids is none of her business. She knows about my food stamps and rent because we were talking about our financial situations, etc etc and I told her. That's how she knows.

Quoting spicy_n_sweet:

If I "saw" how she acted. I most likely would still feel the same way.

If it's none of her business. How does she know so much of your business? How does she know how much you get in FS? How does she know how much you pay in rent? How does she know any of this, since it's none of her business?

Well you keep saying that you are not jealous of me so that's the way you make it sound. Like I said, I couldn't care less. I don't care if she is jealous of me or not either but that is the way she comes off. Maybe if you heard the convo or seen how she acted it would be different. Regardless, what my parents do for me and my kids are none of her business.

Quoting spicy_n_sweet:

I didn't say it was about "me".. your reading comprehension is lacking if you think that is what is being said... Read the blue part once again.  Her actions show someone : venting, frustrated, bitter and most likely due to her own situations............   her feelings probably have less to do with you and more to do with her own situation and what she said is just how it's coming out.

Okay, that's great but this post isn't about you. Her actions and words speak volumes.

Quoting spicy_n_sweet:

Still not jealousy worthy for me  personally..  

I can't think of any reason why someone would be jealous of your situation.   That's why I doubt your "friend" is jealous. Venting, bitter, frustrated most likely due to her own situations... Jealous though.... Highly doubtful.

I brought it up because she brought it up. First she was bitching about my parents buying the clothes and other stuff for my kids and then she mentions the food stamps and how much rent I pay, which has nothing to do with what my parents bought for my kids. She's never brought it up before until now. We weren't even discussing it. SHE is the one that added it with the issue.

If your parents are so willing to help then get off assistance. I help my son and his wife but they work their asses off to survive without assistance.
