Please help....just need some friend/military wife advice?

So, Im a military wife, and I seriously have met so many different people in the past year...its crazy! A lot of them I do not like, but it's okay I guess. Anyway, Im the only one I know that is a college student and does not have kids yet. Im 20. So, this really should not bother me, but it does, and so Im going to ask this question anyway, and Im sure I will get a lot of negative comments...lol! I know this girl who is only 18, and she has two kids already. I used to be fine with her, but now she just drives me insane. She is immature, insecure, the biggest drama queen I have ever met, and she will actually fight with you and take everything personally as if she is 11. I know she is only 18, but she is married with kids, so I think she should be a little more grown up since she decided to take those responsibilites. Okay, so I took a year off of school, and Im starting back really soon. I have so many goals for myself before my husband and I have kids, and I'm really proud of it. But, this girl always competes with everthing I do. She is also going back to school (to get her hs diploma) which is aweome, good for her. However, she keeps calling me out of the blue and will go on and on about it, and ask me when Im starting. Not only that, but whenever I decide to do anything she has to do it. Like, exercise, swimming, getting my hair done, writing a new blog, whatever she has to do it, and tries to do it better. She dosn't just say ';hey, I love your hair..Im going to do mine like that';..she has to try and do everything better than me. If I go out to dinner with my husband..she goes. We bought a new car last year, and now she wants a more expensive one, and she can't afford it?





Im so confused? I know Im probably just being mean, but what can I do...if anything?Please help....just need some friend/military wife advice?
stop telling her what you are doing, you obviously are telling her so you have a copycat. Please help....just need some friend/military wife advice?
sounds like she is just tryin to keep up with the jones. she obviously admires you in a sort of way. it seems as though she looks at you and envys you so she has to be like you or try to become what she thinks is better than you. she does sound immature. sounds like she hasnt had the chance to grow up and she never found herself, know she doesnt know who she is.
not much you can do about it, some people are just like that. if it really bothers you stop telling her what you are doing so she doesn't have anything to compete with.
everyone has this problem some time in there life. i would just stick with your goals don't lose them! and maybe talk to her about it. or just try and ignore it.
well, the greatest form of flattery is imitation, but that doesnt really help huh? my fiancee is in the army too, and im meeting a lot of people as well, i think the best thing to do is either tell her to back off, or just ignore her. dont feel bad about not having kids, im planning to wait until he is out of the army altogether to have kids, i want to be a vet, and im going to use that time to study. just do what you need to do and dont let her get to you, she is immature and will learn the error of her ways eventually.
