Nevertheless, her "attitude" is growing and annoying her mother who takes every opportunity to let Lizzy know what it was like "in my day." Lizzy takes every opportunity to demonstrate her "whatever" attitude to her mother as she gets ready for school.

Lizzy's father is an aging rock musician who grew up in the sixties and still spends a great deal of his time away touring.
