Is it fair for a mother to constantly guilt trip her children?

No, it is not a fair situation for you or your sister. However, you cannot change someone who is unwilling to change themselves. Until your mother acknowledges her incessant pessimism, and declares that she is ready to change, there isn’t anything that you or your sister can do to help her. Even if her computer suddenly ran smooth as silk, the utilities suddenly decided to stop billing her, and the Gods declare that she will never be faced with an inconvenience again, the complainer would still find something to complain about. My suggestion to you is, follow your sister’s example and move out of the house. Subjecting yourself to people like your Mom every day is psychologically unhealthy and mentally draining. Though she is your mother, there is no reason to suffer such stress unless there is a chance of helping her change (which at this point in time, there is not.) Good luck, and make a conscious effort to stay positive about the situation. People do change, on rare occasions.
