YES YES YES While grocery shopping for his birthday party my son said "my birthday is ruined" because I put peanut M&Ms in the cart, not plain ones. While on vacation in a hotel he said "this trip sucks" because his sister ENTERED THE ELEVATOR BEFORE HIM. These things happened 15 years ago, still loaded in there and ready to fire LOL.

I started asking my kid "are you venting or asking me to fix these things" and it's been especially helpful! Each time he tells me he's venting! For context he has had a full-time job at the Complaint Factory since he was born, churning out both fresh and vintage organic complaints in a variety of flavours and textures, and it's something of a family joke I'll ask if he's putting in an extra shift today and he'll say he's working overtime
