Oh?  That's quite interesting.  I've never heard of this degree before,
what University did she get it from?

Why do you feel it necessary to claim a title for your mother?  If she
was a housewife, and did a good job of it, there is nothing dishonorable
about it.  There is no need to claim she is a "domestic engineer".
By claiming a false title, you have *decreased* my respect for you,
rather than increasing respect for your mom.

Other than that I agreed with your article.
