Just kinda thought of something..
What if their fake mother had to make there really be a reason to defend the island.. like maybe she wasn't sure she'd sold Jacob on it, but she was running out of time, so she had to give him a purpose.. so she knew MIB would kill her, and she knew what Jacob would do to him. Kinda twisted in a manipulative sense, you could say. She is obviously not really 'good', what with killing their mother.
Of course, over time, maybe Jacob really came around to it and understood that there was something more to the island. But maybe that first bit is just what it took?
