[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 505089, member: 6546"] Hmmm...tough one. Well, depending on the specifics it could be a bit of mourning - such as "I'm getting older and this is just reminding me of all the things I can no longer do/enjoy/etc". It could be a bit of pouting - such as "Well, I really REALLY wanted to ________, and this version of next-best-thing isn't even close so I'm going feel sorry for myself." It could be a bit of sour grapes - such as "Well, everybody ELSE is doing ___________, why can't I?" It could be emotional manipulation...if he whines enough - maybe he will get his way. Or it could be that he just hasn't accepted this idea yet - but will eventually come around and have manage to have a great time. I will hope it's the last option....and that he will eventually come around and stop whining and have a wonderful time and enjoy all the blessings he has. [/QUOTE]
