It could go either way, but I think that it might be more that she is understanding. So many parents have NO CLUE what our day-to-day looks like. She would at least get it!!
And if she ever had an issue, and tried to "when I used to...", I would politely remind her that she is not anymore. On the other hand, she could be an important resource of info for you, too! If she has been there and done it, she could be veeeerrrrrry helpful to you!
