OK, lets go through this again
OP accidentally upset her parents by saying "we have news". He mother assumed it meant they were about to have a child when in reality she just wanted to let everyone know her two ducks were dating.
When the mother found out the news was about two dating ducks she got visibly upset; and when OP saw this look of sadness fall on her mothers face, instead of feeling bad, she thought it was funny. So funny that she's decided she's going to do this regularly
A user on Lemmy pointed out that this is a pretty mean thing to do. What kind of jerk gets pleasure from making other people visibly upset?
You tried to justify her mean behavior by saying it's warranted because it's mean for her parents to hound her for grandchildren.
This where I pointed out to you that even if OPs mother is hounding her for grandchildren, and that is mean, so what? One person being mean doesn't justify you being mean too. Two wrongs don't make a right. It's sad that the entire world seems to be in a competition to see who can justify their mean behavior the best
If OPs mother is hounding OP for grandchildren, and it is mean, OPs mother probably has her own justification for it. If you and OP decide to be mean in return, you do so with justification of your own. Both people are being mean and trying to justify why their mean behavior is better than the other person mean behavior
It's sad that at least one of you can't just be nice.
It's sad that the entire world seems to be in a competition to see who can justify their mean behavior the best... instead of, you know, just being nice
And then you responded by trying to justify your mean behavior the best... proving you learned nothing
