In my opion, you cant put I or we before 抱怨, that's to say, we chinese dont say "I/we 抱怨........."
most of the time, you cant put sb/sth after 抱怨, there should be a sentence like "sth be....." or "sb do sth...." after 抱怨, the sentence which only a object(sb or sth) after 抱怨 is probably wrong.
Unless :开始抱怨,开始抱怨起sb/sth来, 不停地抱怨,
