The last few days I hear about how my throat hurts, my head hurts, I have diarrhea, and whining none stop. At work I repeatedly got coughed on, or burping (which is usual anyways). My Mom just wants attention, anytime we walk by to go to the bathroom shes whining, and making a scene. Yet, wont take anything or go to the doctors but wants the attention. We just had to cover the pool for the winter, took 10 minutes of her whining, saying she doesnt want too. Yet, when someone tells her off that it isnt that bad, she's perfectly normal to scream at them otherwise. My younger brother does, this as well as my older brother which now we know where they get it from. I just ignore her and do my own thing, I'm not showing her attention if she doesnt feel good go to sleep.

I whine a lot if I am sick, but that is maybe once a year, and I do not whine to everyone, just hubby and then I take a nap. When you are really sick you sleep or rest and try to get better.

I whine a lot too, but I do it in a joking way too. Just to play around and find joking makes me feels better. But then, I don't often get sick.

As you were describing your mom's whining, i couldn't get my mind off my sister in law who is exactly like her. Oh God! She is sometimes a handful!

hi ricki oh my what a mess and I don't blame you if she will not go to a doctor and get checked out. so she probably just w ants attention,. so just ignore her for now. Just remember not to d o that yourself when you are ill as they will crucify you. You simply have to get that trailer for sure now. its time you had your own place and could have some peace and q uiet.

I go to work with a sore throat, hardly able to talk. A major headache and just sleepy. I still go though as it's money and standing for 6 to 8 hours, getting paid is better then laying in bed doing nothing. If I'm too sick I go lay in bed, shutting myself away from everyone. I don't like attention when I'm sick. I might go lay in a bed with family members in the room, but I won't talk, won't ask for attention or anything like that. Your mom just needs to hush. Though my grandmother can be worse, if someone else is sick she has to go "oh I'm sick, I don't feel good" trying to make it seem like she's just as bad or worse.

I know what you mean, my mom does the same or otherwise she is talking non-stop about nothing on and on and on. I nearly lose it today in fact while she kept on about nonsense when trying to work on here. I had some peace and quiet at a few points today when she went with my dad to the bank and then another time to the nursery to get her plants. It is a huge likelihood your brother's will take after her, alot. My brother is somewhat like her, he can't even watch TV downstairs at night it seems without having to wake her up to watch it with him. He does if she can't stay up but he will joke around and kind of badger her alittle to watch it with him cause there's no one else who will 7 days a week. If your mom doesn't feel good she could take a pill or sleep, you're exactly right. Older people sometimes do this though, complain alot--and younger too LOL. How old is your mom by the way if you don't mind me asking?
