My dad needed emergency surgery a few months ago and I drove my mom and him to the hospital at 9:30 in the morning and didn't get home until 12:30 at night. I was worried, hot, tired, hungry, and angry (unreasonably) at the doctor not taking my father FIRST into surgery.
If I'd had a computer in front of me, ya'll would have heard an earful and it would have been way more unreasonable and whiny than anything Rebel has come close to posting.
And that's for someone who was 10 minutes from home but hungry and tired, not fearful of bombs exploding all around me or worried Iran was going to drop a big one on the area.
Sorry , about your Dad . I understand why you weren't on yesterday . I did my best to help him but their was lot of disgusting hateful comments to rebel_yell2 !
We've all been in situations like you have described. We all get grouchy and crabby and whiney. Then we get over it. It's a temporary state of mind.
I think if I were in RY2's shoes I would act a lot more panicky. He has a right to complain and grip. He's only human, and he's stuck in a war zone. Anything could happen. We don't know how this will escalate. No one has a crystal ball.
