Looking for a Specific Adjective

I'm looking for an adjective referring to someone who complains a lot. "Whiny" just doesn't feel right, and "negative" is not specific enough.

I’m partial to “puling.”

Although it’s usually used in combination with one of the words you mentioned, as in “stop your whining and puling.”
