Ironically enough, I think that Mona would be a pretty good parent — of sorts, at least. And I mean "good" in terms of being emotionally avaliable, caring, and quite lenient; she'd be the "fun mom" if you will. She'd love her child, is all I'm saying.
But she obviously wouldn't be a good mom by normal standards, as in her parenting is very unconventional, and at times, alarming.
She'd be the sort of parent to let her child drink alcoholic beverages — and I don't mean she'd just let her child take a sip of her beer, no, she'd genuinely get her child their own beer and have them be an alcoholic at like.. the ripe age of 11.
And she'd definitely encourage violence, and even nurse flickers of it in her child. I mean, obviously, right? She'd be the kind of mom to see her child get pushed around on a playground and snap them out of their moping with some um.. questionable advice.
"C'mere, that little worm is bothering you? Well, okay then, go back over there and do somethin' about it. The hell am I doin'? Raisin' a wimp? Go on, bash his head in, dislodge a tooth or two. Do it or no beer."
And she'd be dead serious too, no pounding that little runt and there'd be no beer — which is a pretty sucky, genuine punishment because at this point in time, like I said, she'd truly have that kid hooked on alcohol.
But yeah, she'd truly raise this kid to be a really violent individual. Not even in terms of just self-defense, but she'd shove it into every aspect of life. She and her kid are playing outside? Well, hey, look, that squirrel looks like it'd have some pretty interesting insides.
"Hey kid, let's check it out. How many times are you gonna keep plucking all of those daisies out of the ground? Let's get up to some real fun."
I mean truly, she'd be such a horrible influence. Her kid got into a fight at school (if she even cares enough to get them enrolled, that is)? Well, they had better won. And of they fought fair or they weren't brutal enough, she'd genuinely be disappointed.
"A few measly scratches? That's all you got in? Seriously? Alright, well don't come crying to me when they see you as some pansy and come back for more."
But honestly, like I said, I do think that she'd love her child. Her childhood was rough and devoid of a lot of love that's pretty imperative during one's formative years— especially parental love and guidance.
It's sort of corny and cliche, but she would want to be the parent that she never had. She'd really have her heart set on a daughter, especially one that looks like her: thin, disheveled black hair and leering, onyx eyes.
She'd be the sort of parent to see her child as her "mini-me", but more-so in a clone, partner-in-crime kind of way. They'd be this mischievous, chaotic duo; monsters to others, and maybe even monsters to themselves, but completely secure and blissful.
She'd never physically discipline them, and she'd give them a name but rarely use it. She'd just refer to them as "kid."
Mona would be a good mother, I really do think she would be.
