How do you handle it when people make statements at you, for eg you’ll be looking for a job in September then

Don’t have a good relationship with my mum due to her being abusive in the past and that abusive person still comes out at times

Anyway leant to just not tell her things, I keep plans dreams hopes worries to myself or share with a trusted friend

so now she’s developed this tactic of throwing out a statement to see how I respond

for example
youngest child will be starting school in Sept, but we’ve already decided to try for more children, sahp atm

she will just throw out at me
youll be looking for a job in September then…
kinda waiting to see how i will respond
I basically just ignore her and act like I didn’t hear her

then she will do the same again next week the exact same statement

how would you handle this ?

i mean I could say oh will I now

but she will just flow that up with more statements etc

Why don't you want to earn your own money?

Do you always go off on tangents?
