My favorite fictional mother is Kitty from That 70's Show! :D

I would love to be able to win this for my friend who just had a baby a month ago! But since I am away at school I wasn't able to attend the baby shower, so I figure this will make up for it.

Oh, Teddy, a challenge! I would have to say my favorite mother is Marmee from Little Women. She's a teacher, friend, confidante, and most importantly still gives unconditional love. Best of all, she freely admits her faults. I should take her lessons on controlling tempers again...

My favourite fictional mommy is Claire Huxtable from the Cosby Show!


I follow your blog!

Thanks

My favorite mom is Heidi Elliot (Balancing Act and Bottom Line by Kimberly Stuart) She's really realistic because she tries to balance having a job, being a wife and a new mother, and just like real moms she makes a ton of mistakes but learns to make the best of the sitaution.

Thanks for the chance! And I'm a follower.

Half-pint's Mom on Little House on the Prarie was my favorite. She was stern, hard working and had a sense of humor at the same time.

Thank you - this is a great contest! This is a really hard question -

My favorite fictional mother is Auntie Mame, but she wasn't really a mother tied with Charlotte in Charlotte's Web tied with Isana in Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series.

I think my favorite fictional Mom would have to be Kitty from That 70's Show. She is too funny and I love her laugh it is infectious! She is a lot smarter than Red gives her credit for and knows her children pretty well...and who doesn't enjoy the occasional "spirit" to help us forget the trials of life!

My favorite fictional mom is Marge Simpson. She usually is so calm and collected even though she's surrounded by constant chaos.

I could say Lucy. lol My favorite might be Laura Ingalls Wilder's mom or Doris Day.

my favorite Mom is the Mom from The Waltons.

I guess my favorite fictional mom is Kitty from the 70's show. I had never watched the show until all 4 of my grown kids told me that this mom reminded them of me! Even their friends have said the same thing. So, I have to vote for her as my favorite.

I think my favourite fictional mother is Calvin's mom in Calvin and Hobbes (I hope the collections count as books). She put up with a lot and usually did it with a sense of humour.

A mother that comes to mind is the mother from the movie Narnia. She sent her children away to shield them from the war. Did she have any inclination of their destiny? Do we as mothers, guardians have the insight to know or dream what potential our children possess? I can be reached at ahuntt@aol.com.
