Have you considered that your mother just uses this as an excuse to talk to you on a regular basis?

Absolutely. And it reminds me of a conversation I had with my grandmother's doctor a few years before she passed:

- How's grandma doing? Is she gonna be okay?

- Well, let me ask you, does she complain much?

- All the time!

- Then grandma's doing fine. It's when she stops complaining - then, it's time to be concerned.
