Motherland. Who are you?

Calling all fans of Motherland. Which character do you most recognise in yourself?

I’d love to say Liz because I admire her confidence & attitude, or Meg because she seems to have it all, but realistically I’m much more Julia.

How about you?

Anne

SmugglersHaunt · 22/06/2025 23:23

Definitely Julia

When my daughter was young I was probably 90% Julia. Now that she is grown up I’m definitely more Liz (with the drinking ability of Meg)

Interested in this thread?

Anne here too. Apart from the sucking up.

I’d like to say Liz as I’m northern and a bit wry but I’m honestly more Julia.

IsthataYes · 22/06/2025 23:31

A mix of all!

LizFromMotherland · 22/06/2025 23:35

My username might be a clue 😁

spiderlight · 22/06/2025 23:36

I'm 100% Anne.

Ladyglittersparkleseriously · 22/06/2025 23:38

I thought I was Julia but I did a quiz and apparently I'm Kevin!

PinkNeedsAHoliday · 22/06/2025 23:41

I'm Meg minus the drinking!

LeaveALittleNote · 22/06/2025 23:43

I’m definitely most like Julia

I’m a mix of Kevin and Anne. Tragic. But the others are awful.

AngelsWithSilverWings · 22/06/2025 23:44

Another Ann here. I had a knack for being taken in by a series of Amandas who would use me for lifts and childcare only to be dropped like a stone once I was no longer needed. I got tougher once my DC got to secondary school age and actively avoided getting to know any other parents.

tostaky · 23/06/2025 04:39

Julia - with less booze
Love that series!

Crazierthanye · 23/06/2025 18:08

My DS14 says Liz. I’d have to be honest and agree 😆

MyIvyGrows · 23/06/2025 18:11

In my NCT group and at DC’s clubs, I’m Liz.

At the school gates I might be some sort of terrible Meg/Julia hybrid.

IveGotAnUnusuallyLargePelvisISwear · 23/06/2025 18:12

Julia probably. In that I’m shrill as fuck and always get things a bit wrong even when I try.

PizzaSophiaLoren · 23/06/2025 18:14

Julia - pissed off with an incompetent husband!
