I always find threads like this interesting to see how much much money it takes to place you in the "your problems are no longer worthy of empathy" catagory.
Is the over/under $100,000/yr, $500,000, $1 million?

I think its the nature of the problems that people take issue with, not the fact that they have problems.
There are certain things that are easy to sympathize with in any economic bracket. Health issues, family issues, even addiction or substance abuse issues.
Also, there's a difference between saying "I am a hockey wife and I have some problems", and saying "I am a hockey wife and that is the problem". The article reads more like the latter. She is complaining about a life that offers a lot of benefits as well and a lot of women probably would strive for. And that I doubt she, or anyone else in her position would give up that lifestyle easily.
I'm not saying a hockey wife can't have real problems in life -- but to complain about the lifestyle itself rings hollow. It ranks pretty low on the list of lives that produce hardships.
