Sitting around the breakfast table after the 6 a.m. day-care drop-off and "morning strategy walk" the Collinses take every day, Malcolm read aloud a text message from his mother. She wanted to know how he and Simone planned to monetize their pronatalism "hobby." "Remember: Everything is transactional," she texted.
My mom responded to my criticism of her transactional nature by saying “well shouldn’t we get something out of our relationships?”
I tell my other family members that once you realize my mom's first and really only concern is herself everything she does makes sense.
My sister still feels bad for her and let’s my mom walk all over her 🥴
Same, whenever my sister complains about her I encourage her to cut the cord.

That paragraph made me feel so bad the first time I read it. And it hasn't lost any of its impact since.
