even if it bothers you...what in the world can you do about it? If someone wants to be sickly then that is their issue. Try controlling things in your household as what goes on in mom's is, for the most part, out of your control. You will beat yourself to oblivion if you try to make an issue of it...in the end what will you do. Sue for custody b/c mom is sick all the time? Prove she is not. See what I am saying. Pick battles wisely.
