You know, my mom pulls that attention seeking stuff too. I think it is something that went into childrearing about fifty years ago or soemthing. It's bunk, but hurtful. Just remember, it's bunk. And so what if you need attention? If you need it that badly, then hon, you'd better get it!
HUGGGGS. Try to get a little excercise, out and away from family or so. They just sound kind of irritates and fussy with themselves, hon. Take care!
