Currently: seething
Can you think of any situation in everyday living that trumps a couple having a newly-birthed, ailing child? Any situation, a bitter marriage, fatigue bordering on coma, or ridiculously rambunctious children; even all of the above? Is there really any situation where you could even consider disregarding the wishes of the worried parents to push your own agenda?
Sometimes, a person's ability to be selfish astounds me. I truly think there are times where politeness may be discarded and you can widen astonished eyes, let your incredulity show, and hiss, "my stuff beats your stuff, so SHUT UP or GO AWAY."

What about people who cut off their own limbs to escape from underneath boulders and such? Oh... you said "everyday living"...
Really, though, I don't expect my own troubles to be a primary concern of anyone but myself: be it an ailing newborn, a rambunctious toddler, or nights on end without decent sleep. So I guess: What trumps someone else's problems? Your own, of course! :)
Really? You would ask people in a tought spot for a favor, get turned down because of their extraordinary circumstances, and still force the issue in your favor?
The part about not expecting anyone else to care about my problems extends to me not bothering anyone else about them--no matter their own circumstances.
Obviously I expect you have something specific in mind as you write this :) but I'm just answering as generally as I can about my own approach.
