TRAFON askedĀ āWho are some horrible moms in media?ā and I really had to think, but hereās who I got:
Okay, I didnāt really have to think on this one. Beth Smith is always going to be the first one who comes to mind. She is just the worst.
Taichi and Hikariās mom from Digimon Adventure 01 and 02. (Fight me, Digimon fans. Iām not taking it back.)
Maggie McKendrick/Elizabeth James from The Parent Trap. Honestly, both parents in both versions are garbage humans who deserve only misery. But weāre just talking the moms here.
Fiona Clearly from The Thorn Birds. (To be fair, Iām not sure if the mini-series adaptationās Fiona pictured here is book accurate. She is downright awful in the book.)
Of course Miriam Patakiās on this list.
Maddy Platter. You can all hate Peggy Hill all you want, but this bitch is why Peggy is the way she is.
Leanne Platter. Maddy Platterās got nothing on this bitch.
Petunia Dursley failed as a mom AND a guardian.
Audrey Bourgeois. The fact that she made me feel bad for Chloe AND Chloeās dad is an impressive feat.
Gertrude Moon from Frasier. No wonder Daphne left England.
Judy Geller from Friends. Actually, throw in Phoebeās mom (not her birth mom) and Chandlerās mom while weāre at it. Joey is literally the only one whose mom wasnāt terrible.
Lois Griffin. Adding this one made me sad. I used to like Lois.
āMomā Turner. I didnāt originally comment with her on TRAFONās post because way too many other people did (actually, they did with Lois too), but Iāll save you all the trouble of adding her. We all know sheās awful.Ā
Feel free to reblog if you come up with more!
