Jealous that

David Cameron said: "My children have onesies and I often say to them that I'm very jealous that they didn't see fit to get me one."

Is it correct to say "jealous that"? For some reason, it just doesn't sound correct to me. I think the use of the phrase would be ok if he had said "I'm jealous that they bought onesies for themselves and didn't see fit to get me one."

On second thoughts, I think it sounds fine! I would put a comma after "onesies" though!
