Any obligations you feel to do the thing is entirely caused by your own insecurities.

All children have a natural inclination to imitate their parents. It's a basic instinct of childhood development.

This comic is not depicting a child but an adult.

The comic is depicting a mother and daughter. No ages are given.

The daughter is artistically portrayed as smaller and more child-like than the mother, though. So consider that, from a psychological perspective.

The daughter references the mother visiting her, indicating she is living alone. That's a somewhat decent indicator for adulthood, at least in most cultures.
