Explanation

A. The mother is experiencing multiple stressors that may affect her parenting abilities and emotional well-being. She may show signs of depression, such as lack of interest, detachment, irritability, or hopelessness.
B. Voicing pride in the academic accomplishments of her child suggests is highly unlikely. She will not be engaged with her children.

D. This is a possible effect of stress, as the mother may be more likely to seek help or advice from others due to her feeling overwhelmed and incompetent as a parent. Asking for suggestions is a way of showing openness, curiosity, and learning, which are important for the parent's growth and adaptation.
E. Becoming very frustrated and expressing difficulty handling her toddler's temper tantrum may be indicative of increased stress and reduced coping abilities due to recent stressors.
