It is implied that Patti was instructed by a relative, likely Great-Aunt-Millie, to raise Emily in a manner befitting a Dark Girl, or Strange family member with magical powers. This includes allowing Emily to live a nocturnal lifestyle, wear the same black outfit everyday, forgo traditional schooling, and giving Emily free reign to conduct occasionally destructive experiments in the house. The rules surrounding raising a Dark Girl are also why Patti places importance on teaching Emily about her ancestors.
Although Patti is tolerant of Emily's strange habits, Emily's experiments sometimes cause her great stress, such as Emily's duplication experiment or Raven. [1]
