Jff-what Cartoon or Tv Mommy Are You?

I want to be the mom from "Family Ties" or Carol Seaver from "Growing Pains", but somedays I feel more like Lois from "Malcolm in the Middle".

First of all, OMG Caillou's mom!!! We don't watch that show because she is so overwhelmingly sweet and annoying! And, IMO, Caillou is a whiner because of it. Can't stand that show!

I am like Rosanne I think. Maybe rough and blunt but you can feel the love when you need to be snuggled.

I am New Christine most of the time. A disorganised neurotic wine drinker that babies my kids. There is also some Jules from Couger town and a hint of Lois from Family Guy.

I'd say more like Lois from Malcolm in the Middle, or Roseanne, as mentioned below. Def. not one of those cutesy moms. That's why I get along well with teens. I'm not entirely normal.

(p.s. I'm not knocking cutesy moms. Sometimes my daughter has enviously told me about all the homey experiences she has had with friends' mothers. I just bring something different to the table.)

Claire Huckstable from the Cosby Show... full time corporate style job that I don't apologize for, but always drop anything for my husband and children!

I am Clair Huckstable, too, Krista!

I am an attorney and live in suits, and have that fiery drive she has, but my family is my top priority and our crazy life reminds me of that show! I grew up watching them and I love them!

Now, if I could only get my husband to rub my feet like Cliff does for her.....

LOL! I was just thinking this the other day about Caillou's mom. He broke a cup and she was all, "it's ok, I am sure it was just an accident." I berated myself for thinking I probably would have snapped at my son instead of brushing it off in such a sing-songy voice. He just broke a ceramic figurine of mine for the second time so I think that was playing into my mood at the time!. I am probably like Deborah too, but not as vocal as she is.

My husband will call me Lois and our dog is Brain, when I say that dog love, love, loves me I am not kidding. He will follow me around the house to the point that I am scared one day he is going to make me fall down our stairs and when I come out of the bathroom room he is sitting right at the door where I will have to step over him upon exiting. I have to add the hubby is jealous of our bond.......LOL!

I would like to be the mom Rochelle on Everybody hates chris, she is to funny and will tell her children off but they are confident it is all in Love.

I laugh because I always LOVED Rosanne..still one of my favorite TV moms.

I am more like that person in movies that is a mentor figure to young people....like the kid gets in fight with mom....runs to grown up friends house scenario....That is my real life...I cant think of a TV mom that is like that....

The neighborhood teens come to me...when they need advice....or need to vent. I love it. Because I like to think of myself as a wise soul...I remember being their age...and I was a rough teen....So with alot of life behind me...I can easily relate to alot of what is going on in their lives...when mom and dad just dont get it....

I love Caillou's mom. And the teacher.....If only perfect was that easy)

I would also have to be Deborah. I can't cook a lick. My house always looks cluttered even though I am constantly doing something. I don't argue with my in laws though.

I would LOVE to be Caillou's mom!!! She has the patience of Job!!!

Kate - I need to think on this - do you mind if I update after I get my friends off to the airport?

I am pretty much like Deborah, though my DH is more helpful than Raymond, but I definitely have Marie for my Mother In Law - YIKES - thank GOODNESS she doesn't live across the street - that would be a nightmare.

HI! My name could easily be Roseanne, except I CAN sing!! And I can cook ... there is a touch of Claire Huxtable in me too ... I am good at looking put together but I do a lot of acting and parenting along the lines of Roseanne.

Can anyone else imagine: Frankie from "The Middle" combined with a big dollop of Claire from "Modern Family"? Claire's desire for control, Frankie's housekeeping....

(Frankie's played by the same actress who was Deborah on "Raymond." Hated that show and never could get through whole episodes, because it made me wonder: What was a great, smart gal like Deborah doing with that insane extended family and especially Raymond?? No, everybody does not love Raymond....)

id like to say Marge Simpson, or Lois Griffin but my husband isn't that much of a dolt. Im nothing like most other cartoons moms(callious mom, sid the science kids mom_)..., all sugary sweet and no consequences. Nope not me.

Closest tv mom i would say might be the woman from Malcolm in the middle, although i have two girls, maybe 3 soon and i can be a little more girly because of it.

Maybe Debra from "everybody loves raymond" without the nagging and crazy MIL

I'd say somewhere between Debra from Everybody loves Raymond, Roseanne & Peg Bundy.... haha...I dont cook much and everytime I do, I feel like I am Peg.... with a mouth & attitude like Roseanne :) And Marie is my mother in law...over all the time with a better way to do something

answering this one from the opposite end: I am an innocent bystander in my life with 2 1/2 Men + 2 male dogs. They can be as idiotic as they want, but I'll still be doing "my thing". I really don't fit the bill for any tv Mom....unless it's the mom in the comic strip Zits!

I have DH & adult son who do not fit either role...but are simply Men with opposing attitudes who also share many likes/hobbies. In other words, they approach the same things from opposite angles....achieving the same end result only after butting heads.

My 1/2 Man is my 15yo son who is basically DH Jr + the mouth/attitude of my older son. Aaaargh. He's a high achiever, with very little effort....+ the mouth to boot. Funnier than Heck. & as a parent, you know you're in trouble when more than one teacher says: "I recommend that your son shows a little bit more compassion towards his classmates who just don't know as much as he does about academics & life". WoooHooo!

& then we have the 2 dogs who are waaaay toooo smart. Our Old English sheepdog mix opens the screen doors....& then our labradoodle opens the glass french door. Last night, once again, my 15yo son did not lock the glass door.....went to bed....& didn't notice that the dogs had let themselves in. 4 hours later, I woke up to an A/C system running nonstop (it was 81 in the house).....I needed to use my inhaler....& moths/bugs flying everywhere - because of course the lights were all still on, too! OMG.....I was ready to scream.... I hope to God that we do not have mice, snakes, cats, squirrels in our home. Yep, still feeling the frustration!
