Kathleen, the producers actually did that on purpose, they didn’t want the show to become like Full House where everything centres around the kids

Olivia Walton would have to be my pick as favorite television mom. She held that family together in so many ways, through the good and the bad.

i don’t know if i could say patricia heaton’s character in “Everybody Loves Raymond” was a good mom, given how rarely you see the children around the house – a big pet peeve of mine when watching the show. definitely not realistic with 3 children.

im not a mother, but i’d add as a suggestion to the list above, patricia heaton on everybody loves raymond.now THERE’S a wife who dealt with a lot! lol

I agree with resembling Lynette from Desperate Housewives. I don’t watch the show anymore, but there was one time when she was sitting on a soccer field going on about her life and how hard it was, but she didn’t want to seem like a failure. My husband just held me while I cried because it just rang so true. (I know, I am an emotional wreck.)

Carol-i think you’re referring to Home Improvement

Aww cute interview! thanks CBB!

Wow there;s some choices I wouldn’t have thought of. I’d have picked the mom from….can’t remember….the Tool Time show with the Santa Clause guy…..sorry for the brain fart!
