You know you're grown up when you side with the parents in the teen movies.
Yes, I am afraid so. I guess that means the younger readers, unlike most Twi Moms, do not realize that Bella's rel with mama Renee is effed up and how all that too-early, inappropriate caretaking and parenting a parent is part of why a rel with Edward, who so wholly takes care of her in ways both appropriate and inappropriate (while she is human--I hate "Breaking Dawn," but I hate it more for the fact that I have to positively reference it as evidence about how much Bella's humanity colored Edward and their rel, because you see the diff when she is vamped) so attractive. They probably think Renee is way cooler than their moms.

SMeyer's official site is full of fun anecdotes about her foray into publishing, things that got cut/changed, things out of her control, etc. She did not know it was verboten for a "YA author" (not a label she sought or embraces) to, say, gloss over the senior year of h.s. in flashback so she could speed ahead to true aduthood.
