Daughter tells mom 'I'm not proud that you're a nurse,' after scary 'tooth' incident.

When this daughter is annoyed with her mother, she asks Reddit:&quot;AITA For Telling My Mother I Am Not Proud Of Her Job As Nurse?&quot; My mother(48, F) is a nurse. I&#39;m (F17) She has been busier with work ever since I shown her I was capable of looking after myself, and even more so after 2020. I barely see her even though we live in the same house.
