I just had a conversation with my mom where she brought up the spoon thing when I complained I'm just here free IT guy. I told her "yeah, but i fucking learned. That either means I'm way smarter than you or you're just an old dog that can't learn new tricks".

In Germany we have a saying

"Alter schützt vor Torheit nicht"

Translated: Age (or expetience from age) doesnt save you from being a moron.

Can confirm. Am old. Am also a moron.

And? You don't know me, my mom, or our relationship. This could have been a situation where my mom is a narcisistic horrible person, or it could have been a situation where my mom and I are giving each other a hard time and cracking jokes. Both of these make my response perfectly reasonable.

If you must know this was all in good fun. She thought my joke was funny. I frequently talk to her like this and she laughs. Litterally half an hour later she was so thankful I was such a great kid to raise among other things.

Fair - it was late and I was tired and over reacted - carry on. I am the asshole here everyone, thank you.

And? I've heard more stories about entitled mothers than should exist.
