Okay, Im officially banishing the phrase "first world problems" to the peanut gallery!

I was telling my DH about one of the threads on here - some family drama that captured my attention - and his response was "first world problem". Well of course it is!! I don't scour 3rdworld.com seeking out like minded people to discuss freaking Sudan with, do I? Just because its not about war, famine or corrupt governments - its still a problem to the person experiencing it.

Excuse me for having nothing better to do with my long, tedious days than to read about other peoples problems. Tomorrow, I vow to spend the entire day reading up on Ethiopia and when he comes home he can darn well listen to every last fact. "Third world problems, honey, I thought that was what you wanted to talk about?".

Ugh!!!
