Hand her a broom, and tell her to clean her room;)
(lol, seriously, ask her what she'd like to do, and if it's not too much trouble, go and do it with her)

Dont engage in it with her.
shes doing it for attention and it will turn into an ongoing point to
argue.
maybe she wanta to spend more time with you. play a board game or go outside and go to the park. Im not saying shes right, but she may be bored.

She's trying to get a rise out of you and see what pushes your buttons. Guilt often works, so she'll try that. Don't engage in conversation about it with her... you will not win. Ignore her comment. It is the older child's version of a temper tantrum (they are getting more sophisticated now in their manipulation).

ask her what she wants to do. TAlking to a child is the best thing to do. Sometimes the more you talk the more they calm and just accept what you say. SHe just wants attention mom!!! Good Luck

Ask her was she there when you went to:
the zoo?
the park?
the amusement park?
etc.
When she says yes, the point out that she got to do a lot.

Tells her that as soon as she gets a job and move out then she can do whatever she wants to do.
