    Any obligations you feel to do the thing is entirely caused by your own insecurities.

    All children have a natural inclination to imitate their parents. It’s a basic instinct of childhood development.

        The comic is depicting a mother and daughter. No ages are given.

        The daughter is artistically portrayed as smaller and more child-like than the mother, though. So consider that, from a psychological perspective.

          The daughter references the mother visiting her, indicating she is living alone. That’s a somewhat decent indicator for adulthood, at least in most cultures.
