Ammu loved her children {of course}, but their wide-eyed vulnerability and their willingness to love people who didn't really love them exasperated her and sometimes made her want to hurt them-- just as an education, a precaution.
Ammu has a deep affection for her children, but their innocent, trusting nature often frustrates her. She observes their ability to love those who do not reciprocate and struggles with this aspect of their emotional vulnerability. This duality of love and exasperation leads her to feelings that conflict with her nurturing instincts.
At times, Ammu feels the urge to protect her children through harsh lessons rather than gentle guidance. This reflects her desire to shield them from potential pain, highlighting a complex maternal instinct rooted in both love and concern for their well-being in an unforgiving world.
