That's the parent's point.
"More than I thought it would be" connotes that he was surprised.
"More than I thought it should be" connotes that he thinks it's too much.

- MaxGabriel 15y agoNo, you misquoted mynegation. He said "which looks more like I though[t] it should be." As in, "which is similar to (what I expected/what it ought) to be." There's still ambiguity, like you said, but its different ambiguity
