I have been unemployed since 2021 when my employer pulled remote work option off me while my son was still online learning. Then I got pregnant, had a kid and she is currently 3mo. My mom thinks I should be out sending resumes since last month. She was upset that I wasn't doing it at all. Today I found out she had been pulling favors to get me an office job in her friend's husband's office. It's a job not related to my degree and experience, but she can make 'adjustments' for me.
I turned her down and asked her to just text my sister instead, and she blew up on me. Saying I should start saving up for retirement now. Saying my kid's education will take out a lot of money from me. (Funny, because I took a loan and worked between semesters to afford my degree, lol).
But the truth is, I am uncomfortable with taking jobs using 'favor'. It'll be obvious when I show up to work knowing nothing and needed assistance from my peers. What should I say to my mom?
