I thought about her mother, too. I saw episodes of The Girls Next Door with her mother and grandmother in them. There is something definitely misfiring about her mom. She seemed self-absorbed, shallow and living vicariously through Kendra. (Hef paid for mom to have plastic surgery, as I recall). Mother was vocal about feeling ripped-off in life and the fact that she married young. There was no warmth. So, predictably she was angry when Kendra announced her pregnancy and marriage. Mother was reliving her own past decisions. Unless Kendra is supervigilant and aware, she is doomed to repeat these resentments. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. It's incanny because now Kendra seems to be regretting her own marriage and motherhood and wanting the "fun" (meaning male attention) back in her life.
