This sentence now has the simple Subject-Verb-Complement sentence structure (a complement is a fancy word for the rest of the sentence). So, simply put, the subject is mother.

Not necessarily.

Minor sentences have what is sometimes known as an invisible subject; that is, the subject is not present in the sentence, but still exists.For example, in the sentence 'Sit.', the subject is 'You', as that is the person being told to sit; the subject is not present in the sentence, however, and is therefore an invisible subject.
