So my mom this year had a lot of health scares and even a cancer scare. The good news was my mom didn’t have cancer. Anyways one of her friends my mom’s age had stage 4 cancer and her friend also has a daughter my age. My mom decided to talk about it with me. The more my mom talked the more upset I felt especially when she said how her friend’s daughter was so depressed blah blah blah details on her stage 4 cancer. I told my mom I don’t want to hear it anymore but my mom responded but I’m just explaining about I’m lucky and how they’re not. My mom is acting like an asshole for not acknowledging we’re the lucky ones unlike her friend.
YTA – your mother is trying to connect with you on a deeply personal level. You only have 1 mother and being able to communicate is the least that can be expected of you. Do better OP
Yeah. YTA. Mom is likely still scared and needs someone to talk to who will reassure her. And I will say that not knowing your age or hers; You have limited time left with her. ( My mother died last year and I expect my father will be gone within the next 5-10). Take the time you have and make the most of it. You will regret the time you did not have with her you will be happy about the time you did.

God forbid you give your mom some support or show the slightest bit of empathy for her friend.
Ikr and saying blah blah blah about the daughter being sad.
YTA. Not everything is supposed to make you feel good.
Do you have a typo in your posting. Did you write your mom as an a****** on purpose.
How old are you? Your mother just went through a cancer scare, which can cause a lot of reflection. She has a friend who you apparently know and a daughter, the front has staged for cancer which is generally terminal, although hopefully will take a long time. That obviously causes a big ripple effect.
But you’re just a selfish person wrapped up in your own life. And you don’t give a s*** what’s going on in your mother’s life or these other people’s lives? Is that it? Assuming I understood your post, then obviously YTA.
YTA. Your mom has been through some tough challenges and now is concerned about her friend. She listens to you when you are upset.
Has it occurred to you that it was really scary for your mom and she needs to talk about it? YTA
YTA. Your mom did acknowledge that you are the lucky ones. Stop being selfish and understand your mother’s friend is going through this so she is upset for her friend. Thete is nothing wrong with her talking about it.
YTA
Your mums trying to get some support from her child about how her friends dying and is probably just wanting to talk about it with someone. It’s understandable if it’s upsetting and you could’ve just said that straight instead of saying you don’t want to hear it. Also saying blah blah blah about someone being sad about their mum dying is a bit insensitive.
YTA. A selfish one at that. Unless I’m comprehensive reading this post wrong, I can’t even wrap my mind around why you would say this to your mother.
YTA. You’re so shallow. You’re totally self-centered and have no empathy.
If I were your mother, I’d be deeply ashamed of the child I raised.
If this were an adult I might be inclined to agree. Looking at OPs other posts, they appear to be in middle school. With that in mind, this feels harsh and I’d argue Mom shouldn’t be relying on her pre-teen for emotional support.
INFO: how old are you?
If you’re a child or teenager, NTA. You’re not the right sounding board for your mom.
If you’re an adult, YTA. Your mom is telling you about something that’s part of her life, and you’re acting like a child.
