How to deal with jealous mamas

Really trying to find playdates for my LO’s since we’re new to the area. Everything starts off fine and friendly until they see my social media which shows our life. Then it’s an automatic 180 - ghosting or passive aggressive remarks. We are well off and do travel a lot. Used to be in the fashion field so I do like nice quality pieces. I worked hard to be where I’m at today and I guess posting anything day to day would be “showing off.” I feel our lifestyle is ruining socialization for my kids and don’t know where to find my girl’s girls. 😞

Show your support

What about keeping them of your socials and see if that makes a difference?

That’s a them problem, you’re doing well in life and should be proud, show it allll offff! I don’t get why women are like that to other women! Personally I’m just getting by but my friend is doing so well and I do nothing but cheer her on and I’m so proud of how she got to where she is. Honestly if I were you wouldn’t even involve myself with them type of people they will be slagging you behind your back if you were to become friends with them.

@ML8 I have but then something slips out about what we did for the weekend (most likely traveled) or which school I want to, work, what I wore, etc and it’s the same. Just social media shows all the fun memories so it’s amplified. I tried hiding everything and some google sleuths found out and said I was a show off for hiding things and I’m a show off for “bragging” when all they asked me was what do you do for work? 😞

@Kirstie right? I’ve always tried to ignore the haters but I feel like I’m only meeting the haters and my kids and not getting any friends 😞 Your circle is supposed to be proud not envious right?

It’s actually sad that people have become so jealous, hopefully you find the right kind of friends for you and your children. Your circle is definitely supposed to be proud of you.

You’re better off without them. It’s their issue, you don’t need toxic people around or feel like you have to hide who you are. I’m sorry if it feels lonely if this is happening often. You’ll find real friends I’m sure, don’t settle

I’ve experienced similar situations, I talk about trips or buying my son things or extra curricular activities or they see the amount of gifts received for bday/christmas and it’s comments like I can’t do the same for my kids or must be nice, or you can afford it, or what really pisses me off, I can’t be happy or share news about things we’ve done as a family because I get no type of encouragement or even a response sometimes and I have to remind myself, we all have our own achievements and struggles but people forget, it wasn’t handed to me. I worked very hard to be able to provide for my son. And I’ve cut off all of those haters because if I can’t sh are my happiness, I also won’t share my advice, time, or presence.
