Being petty can be the best weapon against an entitled mother who loves to embarrass you.
I hate those mothers who have a constant need to be the center of attention. Their whole personality is based on main-character syndrome and a need to outstage their daughters. I always found it unfair that these mothers always had this awful attitudes towards their daughters but never their sons. And I really think all this is powered by jealousy. They resent their daughters, so they are constantly trying to bring them down to make themselves look better. But it ends up just looking sad. Nobody wants to see that. A grown woman making their child (no matter the age of the child) feel like they are less than their mother.
In stories like the one u/Master-Hunt6826 shares, I always side with the daughters, because they are right. They have to act petty or take revenge if they want their mothers to stop mistreating and embarrassing them. And the worst part is that these mothers usually get offended by these things. They feel like their daughter taking revenge is worse than what they did. But, in reality, they did deserve that shame they suffered. They were being mean, so they got a taste of their own medicine. That is how the world works. Props for those daughters who know how to stand up for themselves.
If you are a daughter who gets put down by her mother all the time and you are tired of feeling embarrassed. Then stand up. It may be hard and uncomfortable, but it is the only way to stop the cycle. Be petty, vengeful, and embarrass her in front of her friends. She will 100% take offense at it, but it’s fine. Giving her a peek at what she does to you is the only way to end this. She will learn to stop it. All this, taking into account that you have already talked to her like a normal person and explained that what she does makes you feel bad. This petty thing only applies if you have talked to her and she continues to do it. In that case, yes, girl, be petty!
