It has been too long! ;)<br /><br />@ladytoesocks, yes, Bridget's mother is a classic. Loved her in both the books and in the films. I loved Meryl Streep as the mother in a recent one- It's Complicated. I can't wait to see her as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady which is filming now!Jenny Allworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518779478842699970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-883257107257375102011-05-10T15:38:01.575-04:002011-05-10T15:38:01.575-04:00Mrs. Jones ( Bridget's mother) is my favorite,...Mrs. Jones ( Bridget's mother) is my favorite, she was such a hot mess, it was hilarious! Meryl Streep has played many favorite ( and some not so much.....K. vs. K) mothers throughout the years too.Caffeinated Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937721186991825354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-56640294751704503052011-05-08T20:46:33.809-04:002011-05-08T20:46:33.809-04:00I didn't really think that Mrs H neglected Rog...I didn't really think that Mrs H neglected Roger but I guess I'll need to watch it again, just to notice! :)Charleybrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411948723536117366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-81835326557194782892011-05-08T18:47:04.082-04:002011-05-08T18:47:04.082-04:00Oh, yes, Mrs. Hamley from Wives and Daughters...go...Oh, yes, Mrs. Hamley from Wives and Daughters...good one Cheryl! I forgot about her, although I don't know how. Another great mother figure to Molly, although she didn't really do her sons a great favour by making Osborne her pet. I feel very protective of Roger, although he may be one of those children who profits from their parent's neglect!Jenny Allworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518779478842699970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-28580217385935716262011-05-08T17:08:47.791-04:002011-05-08T17:08:47.791-04:00Great choices!

I love that you began with Mrs. T. - a force to be reckoned with and I had great pleasure in seeing Marilla evolve after Anne's arrival.<br />I think my favourite mom would have to be Olivia Walton although she's from a later era. I also adore Penelope Wilton in Wives & Daughters!Charleybrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411948723536117366noreply@blogger.com
