Complete transcript:

Person 1: Hey mom, I'm going to a friend's party for Labor Day this weekend. I just want to let you know.
Mom: Oh really, I mean I didn't get an invite anywhere. And the rest of us will be at the house, but go ahead and enjoy yourself. At least your brother likes to hang out with his mother.
Person 1: I mean I haven't seen my friends in a while.
Mom: I totally get it. I wish I had time for friends, but with this house, laundry, your father everything that goes on here. I don't have the time but really I want one of us to enjoy ourselves.
Person 1: I mean if it's a big deal, I can just not go.
Mom: No, no, no I'm a co-dependent parent and I'm just doing what I usually do. Making you responsible for my emotional state. I'm not really happy with life. And I feel disappointed in my marriage, which you probably know by now. So seeing you happy and having a social life actually is just triggering my jealousy. I'm not going to tell you not to go, but I do want to guilt you so you check in on me while you're gone. And maybe even come home a little early. That's really the only way I know how to spend time with you anyway.
