If you need to consult a dictionary for an explanation of acceptable
manners, something is wrong.

Whatever manners are, they are not something with a fixed definition.

Your action of trying to learn manners from an inanimate object such as a
dictionary, or rather "half a dozen dictionaries", says much about you, and
suggests something of an inability in relating to your peers, which may, in
turn, be the result of how you behave around them, otherwise known as, your
manners (or more precisely, lack thereof).

If neither you nor your mother can tell the difference between *bitching*
and complaining, and your relationships with your peers are as apparently
non-existent as they appear to be, I'm not really sure what to suggest.
Other, that is, than not complaining to anyone, just in case you get it
wrong.

Good luck in life. I strongly suspect you'll need it.

If you can't tell, I'd have to refer you back to your mother (or
whomever
else was responsible for your upbringing) for some training in manners.

My mother doesn't know, and neither do half a dozen dictionaries I have
consulted. They all define bitch as a slang word for complaining.
