This quote from little fires everywhere is significant as it shows how Elena isn’t able to see the perspective of Mia and what it is like to be her and for her to raise Pearl with a low income and low economic stability. Elena is always so invested in thinking she is a good mother and that she always makes the right decisions as a parent but realistically it is just a lot easier for her as she has so many options because she is rich. Elena is never put in the position where she has to really think what is best for her children as they are already given to her and for this she thinks she is such a good mother when the reality is, Mia seems to be a better mother than Elena generally.
