I also felt weird about that scene so I think it was done quite poorly. But, just as an alternate view:

I thought Merida was concerned, actually. I thought her posture and her body language showed that. I felt like her trying to bring the conversation back to the marriage over and over was not about her not caring, but about her desperately wanting nothing more to be happening. Like thinking "well, if I can just get her to say 'Yeah, I don't think you need to marry any of them' then this will all be over and I'll have been worrying for nothing."

Which is still dickish and the wrong way to react, but isn't "I don't care."

No, that's really stretching it. Watching it in the theater, all I could think of was that Merida was acting beyond a selfish brat. Even my bratty younger siblings would stop arguing and pleading if our parents got sick or injured.

If that was intent they were going for, it really fell flat. If Merida's mother had just gotten sleepy all of a sudden, then Merida's reaction would have been fine. But with her mother getting violently ill, it just seemed way too cold, even for a daughter who was majorly pissed at her mom.

I haven't seen the movie, but maybe it's possible that she kept saying that to see if the pastry was working, or hoping that if the pastry was working, that her mother would suddenly get better? idk.
