the child is harsh for saying that. but it's also helene's fault too that her child spoke that way. The child is a reflection of their parents. like really, 10 minutes for your child??? is that how parenting is supposed to be? don't say FL is stealing your position when you didn't even play your part.

She's lacking but let's give her some slack. She's actually better than most mothers on her time period and status. She allotted time in her schedule to be present in her children's lives, took note of their likes and dislikes, remembers their schedule too. Most of noblewomen would leave everything to their nannies since marriage out love is so rare in their class. Bearing children is an obligation to them, but caring for them, not so. 10 minutes is still not enough to care for them properly though.
Actually, Helene's situation is pretty much still a reality to some mothers in modern times, particularly working moms that have pretty hectic carers, and those multi-tasking working nurturing and working.
One thing is clear though, Helene loves her children, she's trying, just didn't know how to effectively show it cuz she's one of those children who grew up neglected by her parents.
Maybe that's why Wilhemina likes her despite Helene's cat-like attitude toward her.

this Kikyo school hate Chidori with passion as if it's a corrupt government negatively affecting the whole country as whole. As if every chidori students are a crocodile waiting to devour all of their Kikyo student's dreams and impact their life negatively for as long as they live. (but it's really just them kikyo school, bc they're instilling prejudices and biases at such a young age, the students would carry it possibly for the rest of their lives)

telling a student prepping for higher education, already in her third year, just a little bit and she'll graduate top of her class, TO DROP OUT? they're (chidori boys) not the ones ruining Kaoruko, these supposed adults here are the one ruining their students' future. like, can you be reasonable?? she probably have traumas in her, im not disregarding that. but can't you solve that among yourselves, adults? why must you involve your students bc of your troubles too?? being a student in some elite school is not your only identity. who your boyfriend is, is not supposed to be your school's problem or any of their concerns. it's the said student's parents. i just find it ridiculous that they can just easily say to a student to drop out as if it won't CLEARLY ruin Kaoruko's dream. respect, where?? y'all teachers really?
when will this continue?
