Yes, a bit, with one particular topic, my adult kid and one of hers live in the same town ( coincidental) which is very ( trust me when I say very) far from where we live. Despite the fact that both I and my kid have professional jobs in a similar field with the same level of education and we aren't poor, we cannot afford to see each other more than once or twice a year ( granted those are long visits like 2 week vacations but infrequent), her kid has way more lucrative job and can afford frequent visits.

Whenever we are talking about holiday plans and she mentions that he'll be visiting, I think that we will never be able to afford it, such frequent travel is a luxury for us. So I do feel sadness

Luckily topic doesn't come up often and my feelings aren't lingering for too long.
