Samerjai didn't call forth Pipope until it was needed. And I'm sure she didn't have the mind-frame of thinking Pipope owes her. But I've mention above, Samerjai went along with Pipope's idea of repaying back her kindness. "she went along with the fact that Pipope is obligated to pay her back for her kindness." She shouldn't had done that, but I guess she was desperate. I understand that, but I couldn't take it when after that Pipope was nice to her and she continue to bring up that if Pipope wanted her to be well then he should had gone to Chiangrath instead of Parote. She's making him feel guilty and worst then he already feels. And it seems Pipope knows her so well that at times, you can tell he's agitated and scare to ask anything from Samerjai, because he knows the answer. Don't you find it strange that when Pipope talks he stutters? It can be signs of a traumatize childhood, from fearing Samerjai. Or maybe that's how he was before he got adopted.
I do agree, not all but most mothers are like Samerjai. Parent's like that I get irritated with because at times the continue to make excuses after excuse, claiming what they do is just for the sake of the child. But come on, you need to let a child fall to learn their mistake. I also think that if Samerjai really respect Pipope, she would had let them get marry before Chalee and Si. For me, she only let Chalee and Sid get marry more for her own gain, to get Chalee away from Ngam.
Samerjai won't give in to Ngam is not only because Ngam closes her doors. But I feel that the main reason is because she still hold a grudge against Ngam for embarrassing her at her birthday party and because Ngam was the reason she lost the Silamanee. And if Samerjai was nice to Ngam, I believe she would open up to her, but Samerjai was the one who initiated a threat to Chiangrath in claiming the Silamanee as her during her birthday. She's a liar when she said her husband didn't say anything to her about the engagement between Princess Saengfarng and their eldest son. BTW. Although it was Samerjai who raised Pipope, what I know so far Parote mention that it was his father who took Pipope in.
Well..if I summarize this up...Haha. I would still have to say Samerjai is an 'okay' mother. I do understand that we might have different definition of a good mother, that's why I can't see her as a good mother and you can. Being a good mother, I don't just assume that she would give me everything and let me do what I want. But at least give me my space. Samerjai crowds in people's business alot...I mean alot.
Personality and characteristic...overall as a human being, I find Samerjai selfish and in tolerant. I find that, she's these kind of people. If your rich you're automatically my friend, if you are poor your enemy.
As for women like Si...I believe, they're like a soda can, you just need to shake them enough, and you'll see them explode. You can not escape human instinct. There bound to be evil hidden in a person no matter how good they are.
