What is one character trait about Paul’s mom

Mrs. Fisher is Paul and Erik’s mom. She’s mostly a housewife, but when the family moves into the Lake Windsor Downs housing development she becomes the head of the housing association’s architectural committee—a job that she takes very seriously. I think she needs to be validated in some way. She tries to hold everything together while things fall apart. I think she means well but is afraid to cause any trouble in the family. She does enable Erik but she is finally the one who discovers that Erik and Arthur robbed the neighbors.
