>>149137216It's just baked into the premise
Jake can't be the first American Dragon if his mom is a dragon too
He can't be the 13 year old champion of the entire magical community if his mom is around and should be the one shouldering all of that responsibility
This was an early 00s show where a preteen was forced to live a double life and juggle all of his responsibilities as a grandson, brother, friend and student along with all of the training and work he has to do as the American Dragon, and literally no one gave him credit for all of the work and responsibilities he'd been saddled with which are far beyond what a kid his age should have to deal with
But if you make his mom a dragon then it becomes a very different show
