I just discovered this Whiners Anonymous, which is great because I do feel like whining right now...Although after reading all the posts I already feel better and had some laughs.. But anyway I was just feeling fed up with my daughter who I love to bits, but she is having problems again and still after fifteen years on her own. I keep thinking, once she has this problem solved then she'll be ok, but it goes on and on. I am so tired of it and it really wears me down. I have turn her over to my higher power over and over and will again. But sometimes I wonder if it will ever stop....For the most part I don't let it get to me, but tonight I feel its all too much....

Hiya whiners....thanks for sharing your ECF with us. To those who aren't familiar with the term 'ECF' it stand for:
Experience, Complaints and Frustration.


I had a pretty good day today, which sort of cancels out all the crummy ones I had last week. This is a half-hearted whine but under the circumstances is the best I have to offer.
Progress not perfection: Some whines may fade away but new ones await for another day.

"Expectations"
Well I have learnt in recovery that it's best not to have these......
so last night, I thought I'll probably be hot again and better not wear "winter" PJs....and guess what? I was freezzzzng cold....urghhhhh...

My sleep was disrupted again (have stopped having expectations about that!) so I just want to say how much I have enjoyed reading all of last night's posts here on whiners - cos I'm a bit grumpy right now!!!

Whiners, here's a weird one for you: I KNOW that there's a #2 lurking in me...I can feel it in there....yet it's not finding it's way out!!! "Step towards the light, #2!!!!!"! I just hate carrying a poo along with me throughout my day!!! I'm like a purse for poo! I'm just storing it! Like a friggin' poo squirrel! And thus begins my day..... haha

Ananda

OMG DC that was just so grosssssss!!!!! TMI TMI TMI!!!!!!!

I think you have totally ruined my day (just kidding)

This may be a big rant, not whine, but #$@#.

My husband is acting like such a tool.

Me by email: The bathtub tap is leaking.

Him: I know, I won't get to it before Saturday, I hate plumbing. (abridged)

Me: Do you know anyone who does plumbing?

Him by phone: Maybe I need to clarify, you obviously didn't understand I said i'd do it.

Me: I know how to read, but I know you hate plumbing, hense the thought of someone else doing it?

He's in a mood, like he's rebuilding his ego, and in return, I get treated like a moron.

Aw scoob....men! AAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! MEN! (please infer frustrated screaming there!). Who can understand them?? lol

scoob

He's a Gemini, this side of him has always been annoying, but sometimes it borders on hate.

And now I can't drink until I don't care.

About 30 years ago, I came to the conclusion they were either too young, too old, too married, or too gay. Now, they're too near death!

I learned, if you don't expect much, you can't be disappointed.

Welcome, Serenity! Hate to disillusion you...but, with three grown kids, I just know there's always another problem waiting around the corner. You're right...it never seems to end. But, keep coming here to vent...we're a great source of strength and support for each other.

I've been constipated too today....I hate that. Feeling pretty yukky at the moment so that really is my whine. Maybe I can sleep tonight. NO expectations...lol...just Hope. Probably won't be back on again today - so have a good evening everyone.

When we were kids, we used to be given a nasty tasting Spring tonic...maybe you folks need a Fall tonic!!!
