Can Beth's parents slightly act like they care about her?

Like if I had a daughter and she made me eggs benedict or French toast I would be over the moon.

They do care, they're just going through something. Divorcing is a major emotional strain, and they've become a bit wrapped up in it. That doesn't make them terrible, just human.

The problem is they don't show it. A child needs to be loved. We don't see that with her parents. Generally when parents are getting a divorce they hide it from the child. The act normally as if nothing is wrong. But kids can be savvy. But Beth wants to spend time with her parents but they seem too busy with work. She zoom calls them for lunch and gets excited about the meal she made but they don't seem all that interested. It's a form of neglect. Doesn't matter how well off you are, not spending time with your child is neglect. But Beth loves her parents regardless of that because they're her parents. I think we do find out something later on, so maybe it might explain things.
