Think OP means complaining about relatively trivial things vs I couldn't get water from the communal water pump for the last few days, the UN food relief drop wasn't distributed and someone burned down our family hut last night type of problems.

Right and because we live a "first world" our problems are by definition "first world" which includes nanny/cleaning lady/BMW/private school/vacation destinations/whatever gripes.

Just wondering, does the homeless woman with 2 kids living on 7th street count as first world problems? She is living in the first world...(do I have the correct amount of dot, dot, dot?)

Pretty sure it does. First world poverty problems. Being homeless in the USA vs. in Somalia.

This also happens in places like India. Ok, a first and third world problem.

No, it's a grammar correction board. You need three periods for the ellipse

Four, actually. . . .

Ooops, you're right. Unless she does three and a comma, although that risks being a comma splice.

I wounever say this in real life, but there are really big differences between being homeless in first vs. third world countries. Most Somalians in homeless situatyions would probably trade places in a second. It's not a good thing to be homeless anywhre, but it's all relative

Very true. In fact, we only get things worst when we try to solve them by going to the third world (Iraq)

Isn't it better to have 'first world' problems than say 'third world' problems? I know I feel that way!
