I am not conversant with LKH's living arrangements, but she did say she had celebrated with her daughter the week before. I am a mom, and I can understand her desire to have some time to herself, regardless of it's being Mother's Day or not. My own hubby took my daughter to the park for several hours yesterday, and it was great. I read a book, and watched TV and did other stuff I never get to do by myself otherwise.
It does bug me that she seems to have chosen her husband's company over that of her daughter.
But, I guess I am reluctant to ascribe selfishness to her for this incident in particular, much less read it into her characters' motivations.
Having said that, I intensely dislike the way her characters have been behaving in the last few books, and think their characterization has been raped.
