All mothers do this.
Only a TINY portion of them actually leave.
9 times out of 10 its an empty threat.
She's trying to manipulate you and your sister. Don't let her! Mothers will do this well into adulthood unless you stop her now.
You can play the "game" she's playing, too. Next time she opens the door like she's going to leave, very calmly say "Mom, I know you've promised never to threaten to leave again. And since I know you're not a liar...what are you doing with the door open?"
Of course, you do need to not get her so upset that she threatens to leave. That's your responsibility.
Is she a single mom? If so the likelihood that she'll actually leave is practically non existant.
Knock off the fighting (or at least tone it down a bit.) And don't let her manipulate you. You may be her child, but you deserve the same respect as anyone else.

I really don't think you need to worry about your mom leaving. I do think you should worry more about what you and your sister are doing to her. You're making her life harder than it already is and if she ends up having a nervous breakdown and being hospitalized and possibly slow in the head because of the trauma caused, you and your sister will NEVER forgive yourselves or get over it! Remember, you don't have to act like babies. Fighting is for those who don't know how to communicate. Obviously, you do so start COMMUNICATING better with your sister. Your mom deserves the best you kids can offer her. Is that what you're giving her? Respect and Love, my friend. We all need it!

Have to imagine you are both in grade school,unless you are both very immature high schoolers. Anyway, she's getting your attention the only way you seem to respond to. It's not easy growing up, and siblings will fight from time to time, but if it's at the point where you both are physically hurting each other, then it's time to knock it off. You both need to sit down either with your mom or someone else to act as mediator and get it worked out. If you don't , someday, it may get out of hand accidentally, and then there may be serious consequences.

Hello...............she's trying to tell you both something! You both are acting like complete immature idiots and she's tired of dealing with it - don't you get it...................
You both need to stop your immature behavior and grow up!
Being a parent isn't easy and when you have two children so bent on fighting with each other (which shows complete disrespect for your parents) then, without getting in the middle of it, it's easier to walk out the door until you both stop.
