15 Worst Movie Moms Ever
Much different than the 5 TV Moms Who Inspire Me To Be A Better Mother (and 5 Who Do Not), I’ve compiled a list of no-good, ugly, mean, and hardcore scary mothers on film for the 15 Worse Movie Moms Ever. Of course I can’t please everyone, so check out the list and let me know which movie mom you deem worthy of the title. (Also, spoiler alert! to most of the movies I mention!)
Ok, so Sharon Stone's Ginger McKenna repulses me- there's of course the drugs and prostitution, but then she ties her child to the bed, oh and also thinks she should have custody of her? Uh, yeah, maybe I should have made this the craziest movie moms ever list.
So, who did I leave off? Also, I’m composing a list of best movie moms for next week- got any suggestions?

MrsJennyK commented on Aug 20 11 at 8:59 pmI used to have Mommy Dearest in my head as the worst movie mom… Until I saw Precious. Her character disgusted me to the point where I did not think I could see it through to the end. The movie was great, but it was just nauseating. I haven’t seen a lot of the other movies. I know I never want to see Trainspotting or the Fighter or some of the others listed.
Whew! I can’t wait for the best movie moms post! I need it after this. :-)

Crunchy Con Mommy commented on Aug 21 11 at 3:26 pmFor a best mom, how about Angelina Jolie’s character in Changeling? She takes good care of that random boy while never stopping her search for her son!
