    Negative attention isn't really the attention for which to strive. If you aren't causing trouble for yourself, your mom isn't focusing on you. That doesn't mean she isn't paying attention.  Quiet pride....


    I'd suggest catching her when she is making a meal, switching out the laundry, or doing some other chore.  Offer to help and use the time to let her know you feel overlooked sometimes. Tell her you know she is busy and has all of you to look out for, but you'd like (and here, be very specific about exactly what it is you want from her). 

    Shout louder than your siblings.

    Be the sensible one!...Help make your mum`s life easier...by not joining in the tantrums etc...all mum`s need help and loving too!...Do this and you`ll be noticed!!;-)

    You don't have to fight with your siblings  ,or strive to get her attention .Just be there for her and it'll all work out. Help your mom when she needs help

    start acting interested in sex and drugs and stop talking to her. this will spark her inattention. trust me I wont let my daughter out of my sight because of this. She loves being number one for a change.
