The trump card gets played out of selfish motivation, IMO. Kind of a 'mine are worse so yours doesn't count' or 'let's be sure to keep the focus on me and my problems' mind state.
Why would the author even feel the need to point out she is childless before helping out an overwhelmed mother? Wouldn't just the act of helping another person be enough?
