I also in agreement with the mother. I see nothing wrong with her approach.

I see this as a problem. Would you have preferred that your parents did whatever it took to make you happy and see them as angels than make sure you got through school and could make in the world on your own? There were plenty of times growing up that I didn't see my parents in a good light. While I was never stood on the street corner, my parents yelled at me in public enough times that it made me become conscious of my surroundings. As a result, I learned to have good behavior, especially in public. I also didn't grow up resenting my parents for what they did. I actually appreciate the steps they took to make sure I was ready for the real world.
