Jane Austen doesn’t give us much about good moms, but here are some other fictional moms I love that show us that there’s not just one way to be a great mom.
Snow White
Biological moms can be great moms.
Regina Mills
Adoptive moms can be great moms.
Emma Swan
You can become a great mom even if you didn’t originally want to be a mom.
Donna Sheridan
Single moms can be great moms.
Amy Santiago
Working moms can be great moms.
Leslie Knope
You can be a great mom in your found family even if you didn’t birth or raise someone. We don’t get to see much of Leslie being a mom to her actual kids, but we see how she acts as a loving mother figure to April.
god grant me the serenity to ignore people who misread my blorbo, the courage to ignore people who misread my blorbo, the WISDOM to ignore people who misread my blorbo
Just overheard two teenaged boys at the front door of their friend’s house. One was on the phone and gently said, “Oh, did you just wake up?” And the other one yelled “OPEN UP, FUCKNUGGET!” while slamming his hand on the door. I gotta say I love the friendship dynamic
I can’t believe I forgot to mention that the guy who lived there answered the door while wrapped up in his blanket, and it was way past noon at the time, which really sold the entire interaction as a whole
