My mom would always rag on my sister because she was born vaginally, but had to give birth to her own child by c-section due to breach position. I understand first-hand that mothers are not intrinsically good for their children, but the circumstances of the birth process that are out of their hands isn't really one of the things to judge them on.

Well you'll be happy to know that isn't one the things I judge her for.

I've no need to.

As I said, it's just symbolic of how disconnected she is in my life anyway. I understand there is no meaningful difference and would disencourage anyone from attributing any to it.

I haven't lived with her since I was 15.
