So I'm currently rereading Tallstar's Revenge, and I'm confused why fans used to believe she's a bad mother to Tallstar. While she may have been a distant mother, she wasn't terrible. She's often shown comforting him as a kit. But aside from that, what's your opinion on Palebird? I have no opinion on her tbh. But that might change as I continue to read the story.

I'm not sure if you are at that part yet, but she completely ignored Talltail when he returned, even though he saved her kit.

She is confirmed to have postnatal depression, and considering warrior cats don't have ways to treat stuff like that, I'm not really surprised by how she behaved toward Talltail. I don't consider her a bad mother though because of something she couldn't help due to her mental illness, but at the same time it doesn't make her the best mother.

Her actions definitely tend to be exaggerated by the fandom. She wasn't the best mother, but it's clear she was trying.

Oh, I liked Palebird enough and I know she's trying hard despite what she's going through to be a good mother. It was when she had her second litter that I started to really dislike her. She grew extremely uncaring and neglectful of Talltail, and since something similar happened to me, it hits me personally.
