Wow, that's really sad lead-in: A mom who is "famous", so her daughter introduces her to her friends via Google Search, instead of meeting them.

Hooray for egalitarianism, but it's still sad that any parent leaves their child's life behind.

If it was the dad who was "famous", would you have made the same comment? Many families are like that, for decades (centuries?) the fathers would be bringing home the bread, the mothers staying at home, and nobody ever really called those fathers out, as bad role-models or even just bad fathers. Sure there are some that truly detach themselves from the family, but they are a small minority.

In this case the mum's a rather busy person, as she's never seen around school. But to say she's leaving her child's life behind? That's a bit harsh IMO.
