Yeah, everything about the mom was infuriating and the more I think about the scene the more I dislike her. The point she made about not getting surgery for others was correct, but then she piled on so many assumptions and her own thoughts that she reduced it to just empty words.

Just read the chapter where the mom is introduced and I wanted to throw my phone reading her reaction. May change with further chapters but I think she is supposed to be not as bad as she comes off. Horribly uninformed and an absent parent but at least not saying no completely. We shall see though.
