Oooh, urgh, I want to say rude things to your mother on your behalf!
(Have you considered presenting her with a tapeworm in a jar? "Here, mum - I know you've been waiting for the day that I would nurture new life inside me and bring it forth into the world; I finally managed that!")
My mum isn't quite that bad, but she did once tell me that "all her life all she really wanted was to be a mother" with the sort of wistful look that implied that I must surely follow in her footsteps regarding said desire. And she's asked my dad in my presence "Wouldn't we be wonderful grandparents?" or some such thing. Try harder, mum! Maybe spraypaint REPRODUCE on a brick and chuck it at my head?
