My mom said something which hurt me

So I have a good friend of mine whom my mom likes a lot (he's the topper ) and we were out for a walk and she was talking about how he's a "good child"

and I casually asked "would you have liked it more if he was your son instead of me? "

so she replied with "I mean, I can't do anything now you're already my child"

so I asked her again "just answer would you have liked it?"

she replied with "Haan woh to hein"

I may not be great at academics but I still am good , I'm great at sports and other activities which he isn't (national level and stuff) Indian parents only care about the academic rat race which is quite concerning. Idk man this just hurt me a lot
