Change the mom to a restaurant and it makes more sense. The whole point of paying a restaurant is that each person can get whatever meal they want simultaneously, like how the point of cable or streaming services is to have various kinds of content. If the restaurant decides they’re only going to serve one meal no matter what people order, well, most people aren’t going to pay for that. The mom can do whatever she wants because she isn’t getting paid to make all these meals, and her “customers” are children who aren’t allowed to eat anywhere else.
This makes sense but also the example situation only serves to try to generate sympathy for them.
A mother making three different meals is ridiculous, but needing several services and recreating cable for $40/mo is also stupid.

I only have one at any given time and use my mom’s Amazon prime and Disney+ so far those two haven’t kicked me off, but Hulu did.
