No, Ayu's mother didn't praise her nor scold her. You can read about it here in the articles http://homepage2.nifty.com/morimasa/e-ayu.html

And Dearest says nothing about a parting, just "people are forgetful creatures"

That's what I was trying to say... I guess I used wrong wording/grammar. -_-;
What I wanted to say is: There are many single parents out there who work hard, but still can nurture her children. Come to school when there's a problem etc. So being a working single parent isn't an excuse for not scolding or praising a child.
