Give her 30 minutes a day to whine, with you listening. Actually listening. When time is up it is up. Tell her to save up further complaints until tomorrow's session. Won't always work but it might help curtail it some. I think this is a good idea I normally avoid them but since its your mom and you live with her I know that would be too hard. My mom can be very negative sometimes, shes the only person I know who goes on vacation but bitches about it the entire week beforehand. If I listen for her for too long then I start to get negative so at that point I just tell her I have to go. I also like the post about the Golden Girls marathon or playing some music she loves loudly. That has to pick her up! sorry you are dealing with this!
