No, not necessarily. She indicated that she knew from experience about
working mothers, or something like that. That's paraphrased. But, it wasn't
clear whether it was said out of bitterness or out of admiration, or what.

She could have watched her mother & have sworn she would never have that
kind of life, never split herself up that way, never try to do it all & by
doing so be less than excellent at anything.

We just were left not knowing what was meant, as was Annabeth.
