Meaning
This reads as sarcasm that quickly turns into gratitude. The joke points to a mother whose care was so thorough and steady that it became easy to take for granted, especially around bodily knowledge and health. It lands in the familiar moment of adult annoyance with a parent, just before recognizing how much protection and preparation was actually given.
