Don't you just hate it when your parents still choose to believe and keep the umbilical cord that chokes you with their antiquated and draconian say-so's? Understandably, one's formative years, yes, tighten, contrive a knot along the cord - by all means - because your love and attention are most crucial to a child's disposition. But the minute a child knows what he/she wants, how things should and shouldn't be, as a parent, not exactly letting go but, bestow the key to your cord, and let them keep it until they decide to come back.
But that's just Russovoir and his paternal inclinations because in Sassy Pants, one divorcee, emotionally-stricken from a wayward marriage, has been raising her teenagers, including college bound Bethany Pruitt (Ashley Rickards), within the reach of her mailbox. In fact, she's a high school graduate of her mother's home schooling! If only Bethany can lick a stamp onto herself and ship off to San Fransisco, where her dreams await; what she can do, unfortunately and for the meantime, is to be patient; that, and running away, of course.

To run away, supposedly, is to flaunt one's sassy pants. Impudence. But that's just really from the parents' perspective. Remember the umbilical cord analogy? June Pruitt (Anna Gunn) shackled her daughter with it that, inquisitive Bethany had to saw off her leg to discover the world she was shut off from. It's not about being rebellious nor uncaring, rather, it's about possibly cutting the cord when already there's abundance of a mother's love to sustain for college.
