Might be because the kid was her nephew and not her own.
Compared to some other main characters I've seen she actually stands up for herself quite well. Like how she didn't actually send money to step mom, or says no to her boss using her for a personal connection. It's a bit early still, but I was actually surprised by how much she's said "no" to others so far.

I agree
The kids cute. But the girl is kinda doormat-y. Single moms that i know of are usually like a lioness or a nine-tailed fox lol
