Terrible analogy.. Your wife complains about you being away so you tell her to shut up becuase military families have it worse? Yeah... when my kids are hungry, I'll tell them to quit complaining because some kid in Africa is worse off....

There is an obvious difference between things we can and the things we can't control. My example is clearly the former, and is much more analogous than yours.

Oh, and I learned a long time ago that "shut up" doesn't go over too well with my wife, unless I want to get smacked.

There is a politer way to phrase this.

I not able to come up with politer wording yet I'm downvoted. Total discrimination.
