She's only a good mother when she comes back, she has the CAPACITY to be a good mother before that, but she doesn't have the desire. You don't parent by getting your children out of trouble, enabling them, and giving them money instead of attention. That's not how it works. I like her character very much, I do, but I wouldn't say she's a good mom, she's downright crappy.
