It's safe to say that Pedro's mother, Lydia, is a hypocrite and yet, taunts her son unnecessarily

The recent episode of 'The Family Chantel' sees Pedro's mother, Lydia, get all the more difficult with every situation that pans out. What's more, it's rather obvious that she gives her son a very tough time, constantly judging his choices, and having to make at least one poor remark in regard to him, whatever it may be.

Having said that, it's surprising that Lydia has so much "wisdom" to pass on to her son, especially given that she's not the most pious woman out there, having lived as a side chick her entire life, and yet, being OK with it.
