She didn't, its just an over sight by writers for a cute moment. Plus if anything its Tenzen. Even with Korra, you see how often he makes excuses with how busy he is that he cant train her ever until the start of the show. Im sure he did the same thing with his mother, and later they show how he was a daddys boy and that he wasnt there for Katara when Aang passed away either.
Yeah, I always interpreted that it was Tenzin that was poor about maintaining connections. Katara is old and looks like she has trouble moving, while Tenzin is young and comparatively more mobile. That said, I don't think he's a bad son, he's just really busy and sometimes these things get away from us.
