Is there any Shariah impediment to saying "Why did you give birth to me?" to one's mother when angry, knowing that the speaker is the sixth in the order of children?

Contentment with Allah Almighty's decree is obligatory. What you are saying to your mother contains discontent, ill-manners, and disobedience, and it contradicts His (the Almighty's) saying: "So do not say to them [anything that indicates] disapproval and do not scold them but speak to them a noble word." You must repent sincerely and seek your mother's satisfaction, for "Allah Almighty's pleasure is from the parents' pleasure, and Allah's wrath is from the parents' wrath."
