These are crude comments.
Usually lawyers are "put on retainer". They are given an amount of money in advance which functions as an agreement that they will be available to you, as needed.
In some hotels a small piece of chocolate is put on your pillow at the end of the afternoon. It is a gesture from the hotel.
This is a crude insult, implying that this "mom" has loose morals.
