Questions are totally awesome, anon =3 And I'm always happy to answer.
My head-canon does somewhat revolve around the FACE family idea with America and Canada as siblings and France and England as parental figures. I'm not entirely sure I would always label England as the 'mother' figure, as it depends on the time period and which sibling I'm referring to at the time and what the situation happens to be.
In America's case, France is the "parental/father figure" while England can be considered a "former paternal figure turned influential sibling". To me, France retains the 'father figure' with Prussia and Antonio as uncles, as the those three were...pretty much the only reason America won its revolution. England, despite the rift with America after the revolution was still a pretty big influence, since we basically stole most of our Industrial Revolution from them, if I recall right, among other things.
In turn, Canada started out as New France, but became the British Dominion of Canada after the Seven Years/French and Indian War and as such, retained England as a parental country while France became the "influential brother" figure.
With saying that, in regards to the story, England did indeed give his everything for child!America and for now he does still see America-and Canada- as children he needs to protect. I won't spoil the story much more, but I can promise that while Iggy-boo and America aren't in a relationship, they will be developing towards one, because, well, I can't resist.
Anyways! I hope I managed to answer your question! If not, by all means, just say so and I'll try to think up a way to make it clearer =3! *likes answering questions*
