Are you always “in a bad mood” according to Nparent

[Question]

This seems to be a frequent offense of mine. I (31F) Talk to Emom and Ndad, Ndad complains and makes comments about everything, I got low key annoyed and then the conversation becomes how I am in a bad mood, not being nice etc etc. I’m sure this is even more so because I’m a girl.

Just recently I talked to my parents, I’ve been really unwell, I had a failed IVF cycle and hemorrhaged blood after. We recently moved and had started setting up a tv stand over the weekend. It wasn’t completed and I said yes it’s a bit of a mess since we aren’t done, the pieces are in a pile still. Well my dad goes on and on what a mess it is blah blah blah. I’m just like sure whatever (who cares it’ll be done in a day or 2?!). Well that wasn’t the right response, now it’s why are you in a bad mood?! What are you cranky?!? You have to be nice and respect us! You are never nice how about call and ask how we are doing (already did that). Anyone else have this exact same pattern?!
