I’m guessing you’re under 18 and your parents are annoyingly resistant to change? Otherwise, and perhaps even if those are your circumstances, you need desperately to assume control over your environment.
If I were you, I’d probably get some pillows on the floor and curl up on my side and sort of hunch over the laptop and change my position a lot while using it. Possibly move the monitor to the floor as well.
What kind of chair is it? Most rolly office chairs have a hydraulic lift that will raise the seat when you pull the lever while not sitting on the chair.
Your mother cares more about a desk than your future health?
She deserves her heart attack.
Talk to her seriously about the issue involved. You might be worried about her feelings… so talk to her about the fact that you’re worried about her feelings. But don’t guess at what you think her feelings are going to be.

No, I’m not under 18 (but I do live with my parents, and my mother would have a heart attack if I tried to swap out this desk).
Now that’s an interesting suggestion about the laptop. Except the cord’s so short I’d have to lie right in front of the door if I were online...
Thank you. I found the lift thingy, at least.
