Yeah the title probably needs work but I've had 2 hours sleep. I'm having a crappy day. All the normal motherhood stuff. I'm sitting in the pharmacy, about to collect an incomplete prescription for DS and suddenly thought about the many mothers on TV, and how they are each portrayed to the different audiences.

I think at the moment, Lois from Malcolm in the Middle the most is the most relatable. I need more sleep (or rather, I need my sons to sleep!) before I can think of a favourite lol.

Oh and Bad Moms. And Bad Moms Christmas.
Not remotely realistic of course but still very, very relatable.

I second Frankie Heck from The Middle 👏🏻 can totally relate to her.

Yes!

Another one for Jessica Hynde in There She Goes. Brilliantly written and brilliant performance.

Mum. Her children are older, but the way she tries to be encouraging even as they are obviously dummies and treat her like a doormat really rang true.

I loved the first two series of Motherland, but couldn't stand the third series when the writers changed and are now trying to flesh out the stereotypes in a very worthy way. Just not as funny.
