Which cartoon moms do you admire?

The cartoons that mesmerize our kids might have a lot more to offer than just being an awesome babysitter.  Moms could actually learn something from the mama characters, like how to be a better parent and speak in a much softer voice. And wear more colorful clothing.

An article at the new Nick MomI Wish I Could Be Like: Dora’s Mom inspired me to think of the five animated mothers that I kind of want to be like, seen below.

Caillou's Mom
The always primary-colored dressed mom to Caillou and Rosie not only puts up with her son's whiny voice all the day long but she really does demonstrate gentleness, patience, and creativity with her kids. And she seems to be a great wife to Dad, too. She's probably the only thing I like about that show!

I always say that Mother Bear is my gentle parenting hero. So glad she made the list!

Marge? Eeek! She is an enabler. I mean, c’mon Marge! Toughen up and straighten out that lazy, irresponsible husband, and delinquent son. Being patient is one thing, but allowing your family abuse and terrorize everyone-including themselves, as well as you- that’s nothing to emulate.
