For people who read the link someone else posted: http://chidorinoyume.tumblr.com/post/141178637965/ten-count-ch29-translated-from-japanese-scans (or who understand other translations), I do think that in one way both Kurose and Shirotani had to deal with fathers who were more interested in a being with a beautiful woman than someone who will be a good mother. Of course, Kurose's mom is an adult, so she has no excuse at all for being so self-involved. Somehow the way Kurose's mom is complaining about Kurose ruining her clothes to the father (as opposed to talking with Kurose about it) seems like a sibling tattling to get another kid in trouble. It's especially odd that she cuts off the conversation that was starting between Kurose and his dad over the book. It's like both the teen and the grown-ass woman were so jealous of the respective dads' attention that they would deprive the child. And both dads were all too quick to turn the attention away from the son and to the woman.
