Yeah, I think people are seeing as the meeting between Frankie and Mac's Mom as some sort of wrestling match over morals and how to raise Mac or something. It really isn't that critical considering how good Mac's Mom seems to be to Mac.
I think the tradition thing is more plausible then this heartless mom bit. She seemed decent and caring for her son during "Infernal Slumber", I think her issue with Bloo was because she felt Mac was getting too old and needed to move on.
I don't think she harbers a personal loathing for IFs or Bloo (Unless he did something isanely BAD to piss her off to high hell and force her to boot him out, but that's another story). I think she just wanted her son to not be picked on.
She seems concerned for Mac every time I've seen her with him, just like when she sounded freaked when Mac confessed he was upset at not having any underwear for Christmas. She sounded really concerned he felt so broken.
Plus she got him everything he wanted (he even said it), the issue was the Santa thing and that's another case. The point was, she cared enough to buy him everything he wanted and cared that he seemed upset at Christmas.
Doesn't sound that harsh or vile of a mom to me.
