Moms are like that
Mine went
"Oh my goodness why don't you get a job our go out more or something"
And I just responded
"You're 40 and you've never worked a day in your life
And I she said
"Oh you think being a housewife is easy? Who has to clean the house, wash the clothes, bring you kids for school etc. "
And I said
"Oh yeah, that's definitely way harder than a real full time job. Doing the laundry must be so hard with a washing machine and a dryer right? Driving a car to the school 5 mins away must be so hard right"
And she said
"Okay, you keep talking like that. Thanks for talking like this to your mother. Thank you so much."
And I said
"No problem"
