The mother is parenting with fear. What she did to the teenage boy was absolutely inappropriate. No matter how much you want to protect and direct your children they must eventually make their own choices and decisions.
Being a parent isn't an easy thing, you are in constant fear of your children not making it in life. But the key is to guide them and not control them, they have the right to make their own decisions based on your guidance.
This has all the elements of a great movie, but there's too much missing. Perhaps they ran out of budget and couldn't shoot the scenes that would have filled out the story. It has the feeling more of a trailer than a complete film.
[SPOILER ALERT] So in the end, it is not about her fear of losing the connection with her daughter, but about her frustration with not getting laid?!? Weird twist, in an otherwise finely acted and up until then well-told and realistic story. Also not clear why she stops the call from her ex(?)-husband; why the daughter takes up playing again; and what those looks are about in the very last sequence.
no lol, it absolutely is about her fear of losing connection with and more importantly, control over her daughter. her kissing the boy may have represented some repression on her end and possible jealously over her daughter who was living a similar life to when she was the same age right before everything went downhill for her.
All my dad wanted was for me to take over the business. Take over the business and live his life. Very selfish man with no bonding and to continue with hi ego. Hence, I decided no to have children. A pity I denied myself but that’s decisions we make in life. And then we’re dead. Aah.
@@natureboytom for what its worth i think you made the humane choice. kids are not object, toys. you are bringing forth another living being into this messed up world for purely selfish reasons. it aint right
when you parent with control, it's about you. when you parent from connection, it's about them.❤
Well he sure let the mother off the hook. Her behaviour is disgusting

Looks like Jo pulled a Mrs. Robinson on James.
Well that was some fancy lip work… mission accomplished. (That’s the way I see it) 🤭

The mother is a narcissist
People should not have kids anymore. Most of the reasons are beyond selfish.
Not everyone is like this
@@dfb2913 having a child is bringing a being into a world of suffering and for what?? so you fulfill your selfish need to not be alone?
