Now, mommy should have hugged Claire and told her that she loves her and is proud of her no matter what. But maybe Mommy is a bit insecure herself
Nah, im going to say this is 100% on claire here. She led with "oh my god i got a job!" with a lot of enthusiasm, and then when it turns out she oversold the significance of this a bit, her mom reacts to that normally. She was really happy for Claire, then kind of sad for Claire when it turned out she had to settle for something less than what she was looking for.
