I sure hope she doesn't mean that
You can't be blamed for another person's mental health issues. It's something she needs to work on with a qualified therapist. Hand her a pamphlet, let her know you care. And even if she said it in jest, she will know that you take her words very seriously.
What a bitch. Should've called her bluff.
Next time tell her "Not if I get you first."
This isn't something you should post about that's a serious issue and I can't imagine how that's making you feel.
I vividly remember, as a young child, standing next to my mom as she sat at the kitchen table and sobbed, "I shouldn't have had kids!" She had/has severe depression and I don't think she realized I was old enough to (sort of) understand and that it hurt me. Now I understand more, but maybe OP's mom is in a similar situation with depression or another mental health issue, and didn't mean it exactly the way OP thought. Of course it still hurts! Wish we knew more back story though. On a side note, I wish all the people who have idealistic views of motherhood would come read some FMLs.
She needs some help. This has nothing to do with you my friend. Good luck with getting her help.
Considering she said that to you, I'm assuming you don't have a very good relationship. So.... It's something to look forward to, maybe? Sorry OP.

Get her some help if she's serious
That's one poor excuse of a mother.
