Ah Bah's mother is a worse parent than his father.

Ah Bah's mother to Ah Bah was someone he could look up to as one time, she "cleaned the bruise" of his injuries after a "rough-looking man" whom "pushed" Ah Bah onto the ground as well as "taken" his money. After that Ah Bah's father, "snarling" and scolding Ah Bah for losing his money. Later on, Ah Bah's mother gained Ah Bah's trust enough for Ah Bah to reveal where he "kept" his biscuit tin and also "took" out the "lid" to show her that the "money" inside. After knowing where Ah Bah kept his money, Ah Bah's mother told him, "don't go near the hen house often," telling him that his money will get taken away if he checks it again. After that, it was revealed that Ah Bah's mother who stole Ah Bah's money as she "hidden the handkerchief and the tin" away from Ah Bah.

Ah Bah's mother had pretended to be with Ah Bah's side for the whole story as Ah Bah's father was always putting up a bad front of himself constantly in the family, which gives Ah Bah's mother the opportunity to be someone that Ah Bah can trust. However, for the whole time, Ah Bah's mother was also trying to get to Ah Bah's money as well, and that she did it cunningly than Ah Bah's father did. Ah Bah's mother had lied to Ah Bah so that she could take away Ah Bah's money right under his nose and spend it for herself.

He even "hit" Ah Bah "on the head" when he found out that Ah Bah had lost his money. The evidence shows that Ah Bah's father steals his son's money instead of providing money for him. He does not care about Ah Bah's feelings. he also abuses Ah Bah when Ah Bah had lost his own money. On the other hand, Ah Bah's mother led Ah Bah "away from his father" when he was hitting Ah Bah. She also "cleaned the bruises" that was on Ah Bah's face after Ah Bah's father had hit him. This shows that even though Ah Bah's mother took Ah Bah's money, she at least cared about Ah Bah.

Point: Ah Bah's mother is a worse parent than his father.
Evidence(1): Ah Bah's mother betrayed Ah Bah and told him to "say nothing about it" (the money loss) and blamed it on Ah Bah's father by saying "the devil's found you" referring to Ah Bah's father stealing Ah Bah's money.
Evidence(2): Ah Bah's mother was also very sly as she had "hidden" Ah Bah's hard earned money in her blouse pocket. She had also "slipped away" secretly to gamble off Ah Bah's money.
Explanation: Ah Bah's mother, whom was caring and loyal to Ah Bah had not only lied to him but stole his money too, and she used that money only for herself. She hence did not consider Ah Bah's feelings when stealing the money. Not only that, Ah Bah's mother had also pushed the blame onto her husband, whom in this case is innocent for he had not stole Ah Bah's money. And when Ah Bah was crying, she comforted him for she wanted him to stop crying so that she could quickly go to gamble. Thus, she was glad that Ah Bah had stopped crying and no mother would be that selfish and inconsiderate.
Link: Thus, this shows me that Ah Bah's father was much better than his mother.

When Ah Bah got 'robbed' off his Chinese New Year money, Ah Bah's father 'hit' Ah Bah on the head. Ah Bah's father's anger became so 'extreme' to the point that he won't be satisfied until he had hit Ah Bah again.
After Ah Bah got hit, his mother led Ah Bah 'away' from his father and also helped Ah Bah clean his 'bruises'.
