My mother last night was sitting with me and my sister. My mother upset that my sister and I are fighting. My mother sat there and every 5 minutes would look at the clock and say oh it is 8:15 than look at the clock and say 8:20 and than again 5 minutes later. My sister said she is tired and wants to go to bed. Just wondering what that could mean.

If she was upset, she may have been casting about for something to anchor her, something to distract her. Time, or rather KNOWING the time, is something that can help orient a person. Sounds like she was just knocked off her pins a bit, and trying to get back on.
Is there some way you and your sister could agree to keep disagreements away from her? Maybe not, but it seems worth asking.

Thank you. This makes some logic to me. As far as my sister and me, I have requested that many times but she enjoys putting her comments in front of my mother. I try to ignore her and say I am here to visist mother and not you. She is the caregiver right now for my mother. She is stressed, plus she is other things. Thank you again.
