These two quotes are both said by Rose Mary, Jeannette's mother, who was probably the most self-sufficient out of all of the family members. The first quote is when Jeannette is trying to help her mother and she's so self conceited that she completely changes topic and doesn't except the fact that she needs change. The second quote shows how Rose is so selfish that she starts to say to Jeannette that her hobbies are better than her getting a job and being civil.

"When Dad wasn’t telling us about all the amazing things he had already done, he was telling us about the wondrous things he was going to do. Like build the Glass Castle.

-“Erma reached over to slap me, but Lori caught her hard. ‘Let’s all calm down,’ Lori said in the same voice she used when Mom and Dad got carried away, arguing. ‘Everybody. Calm down.’
-"'Nosiree.' Mom said. She didn't approve of glasses. If you had weak eyes, Mom believed, they needed exercise to get strong. The way she saw it, glasses were like crutches."

The first quote is from Jeannette who had to deal with an abusive and perverted grandmother who would abuse them whenever the parents were not around to protect them, and that's where Brian would step in as the hero. The second quote addresses how neglectful Rose Mary was to her children by not even providing glasses for them to see properly which is an awful way to neglect your child, by not letting them see the real world.

Jeannette is independent at a very young age—she's just three years old here, folks. While this borders on neglect and sometimes causes her harm, the advantage is that she matures more quickly than other children and can take care of herself. The next quote foreshadows the time in high school when Jeannette will be a mother figure to her younger siblings. Here, Jeannette's holding the kids and taking caring of them, and she's not even six years old yet.
