With dd, I ask her to speak properly or nicely to me, meaning she doesn't whinge and uses manners. I then give her an example 'mum can you please get me some watermelon' rather than 'i want watermelon'. It has definitely helped, especially since she won't get anything until she asks nicely.
Not sure if that would help?

DD1 is the same!! Your not alone and it drives me batty!!! Ive started sending her to her room until she comes out happy because i just couldnt handle it anymore. Whinge whinge bloody whinge!!

Yep. The bad news is as they get older, and more hormonal, the whinging gets more incessant

All of mine whinge. All of them. DD1 is shocking though, and DD2 is getting to the more whingy stage too, so between the both of them I just want to pack up and leave home.... and I didn't think I would feel like that until all the girls were teenagers....

Arcadia i do do that, with a very calm voice and encourage him to ask whatever it is he's asking without whinging. It's just when it gets a little too much i regretfully loose it
Oh no so it's really only a small taste of what is to come??
Ahhh i'll just have to keep working at it
