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.

Is she a DCUMer? Because that's who "we" are.
And your dot dot dots should have a space between them (or maybe that's just a first world problem).

Exactly, for example - I was frustrated because they didn't have the stride rite shoe I wanted for my daughter in her size vs. how do I keep my daughter from getting raped tonight.

See? First world problems....

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

Four, actually. . . .

Oh, dear! It's just so very troubling when our gifted children become bored with the mundane curriculum that's too often forced upon brighter students. Perhaps you could suggest that your daughter might benefit from attending some classes for the gifted (specifically, in the areas of science and math) at the local middle school for a portion of the day?

Yeah, I never get the "First World" complaint complainers. Maybe "rich girl's problems" problems of the 1% or something, but we're all first world.

Somteimes yes and sometimes no. Even people who are lower income, way under 6 figure salary people (like me), have 'first world problems' too.

Omg, my cleaning lady put the standard pillow case on the king pillow again and vice versa!

Btw, this really does happen to me every two weeks. I figure if it's the biggest problem I have, I'm pretty fortunate.
