121F my mom 55F and my dad 47M Length of relationship: 21 Yrs
1 21F was talking to my father about how life has been for him lately since he got a new job and he's out of the house 5 days a week and he told me he's unhappy because my mom won't spend time with him, she sits out in the patio scrolling through her phone buying random stuff on ebay that we don't need. Every time my dad tries to invite them out she'll say shes busy or she needs to clean something ( she doesn't have a job or friends) and 99% of the time she doesn't clean anything and I end up doing it instead. I after my dad left for work i keep trying to have a conversation with my mom but she shuts me out and becomes quiet, not talking or just responding "okay" "yeah" "fine, whatever" and when i try to emphasize that i need more confirmation other than that she yells at me "what do you want me to say?!" I want to do whatever i can to help and she refuses the therapy office i told her about.
Does anyone have any idea of what i could do?

TL;DR, My dad can’t get my mom to spend any time with him and my mom shuts us out when we try to talk about it.
