What would make a parent lie about their childhood to their own children? [I Am Depressed]

Our mother has always told us that she was from a perfect family. She would use her own example to shame Us for getting into fights with one another, or not being tidy enough or organized enough. A lot of it was out of our hands as all of us lived in one room without any storage space.
But as we grew older we started to see the cracks in her story. She still lies. What's wrong with saying you're not perfect?
