I wanted to bite your little boy back. That's how well-written it is. (Kidding--about the biting part.) Beautiful! I wanted to bite your little boy back. That’s how well-written it is.

I needed this today more than ever. I'm recently re-married and while I can tell you we are doing wonderfully and better than expected, our "blended" family has some issues. I'm discovering my "bad mood" is just my being jealous of my husbands time with his daughter. HOW DUMB IS THAT? Before we were married we had all kinds of time together alone, laughing...made that a priority actually. Then life hit and we are always going 20 different directions. My time with him is less than before but its not her fault! I see now that I do "bite and run"....and I don't like it! :0( Thank you for a VERY timely post. I will pay more attention to my words, actions, feelings as a result. Sigh. I agree with the OUCH….DOUBLE OUCH comment. I needed this today more than ever.

You will be an amazing mom, Helen! He probably had no idea it would hurt like that… it isn’t like he’d been bitten before to know how it felt.

You will be an amazing mom, Helen!

My jealousy is always about: #1 forgetting to be grateful, #2 Feeling insecure. The metaphor of your son is perfect. He/me/we forget who we are, and who's we are. There is enough for everyone to feel like the favorite, the best beloved. Well said. My jealousy is always about: #1 forgetting to be grateful,

I really try not to compare myself to anyone else. That's the cornerstone of self doubt. Jealous only rears its ugly head on occassion, but it’s ugly when it does.

He may have been just as startled by her scream as you were... I don't find myself jealous of pregnant friends. But when I read of people who abort, abuse and even kill their children, I cry out to God and ask Him if He really thought I'd be a worse mom than that... Are you sure he knew what he was doing?
