http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/8934 Are you Clair Huxtable? The work-a-holic, yet magically always there for your children mom? Are you June Cleaver? Always making everyone’s life easier with that little “I know everything going on” smile? Are you maybe even Morticia Addams? Enthralled and in-love with your husband while your children are off enjoying their hobbies? (hopefully not dynamite and axes.)   Me? I actually always had a soft spot for two famous TV moms. Lucy (from I Love Lucy of course!) and Samantha from Betwitched. Lucy was just so funny, and mean in a cool way. Plus, once she had the baby, you rarely ever saw him. Mrs. Trumble would come by at a moments notice to watch him for as long as Lucy wanted while her and Ricky went to the night club with their best friends. Her house always looked great and her life was full of adventure, even if she didn’t leave her apartment. Sounds like a good way to live to me! PLUS she was married to Ricky… need I say more?   Samantha was just too cool for her own witchy boots. She suffered from horrid self esteem and loved her man SO MUCH that she tried to deny who she was. Wow, that rings a bell for a lot of mothers I know. In the end, she would save the day, or pull off something amazing that would restore her confidence and Darrin would be grateful, even if it did mean witchcraft. She was a kick-butt mom to their two kids and never did mean things to her stupid neighbors, even though she could with the twitch of her perfect nose. She just always looked so beautiful and her house was the essence of kitschy retro cool! I adore that show, and Samantha Stevens. Her husband however was a dweeb and didn't deserve her (I agree with Andora there!)   Growing up being surrounded by women like these actually helped me become the mother I am today. Isn’t it strange how fictional characters can do that for you? My summers were filled with a lot of old re-runs at my grandparent’s house. We were always busy with new adventures and activities, but I loved getting to lie around and watch these golden daytime TV gems. Now it’s fun to do the same with my son, who has adored I Love Lucy for years now.   How about you? What TV mom did (or do) you love? Who do you think you’re most like?   Are you Clair Huxtable?

If I could grow up in any family as a kid, it would have been the Huxtables. Although, I DO think she was a work-a-holic. But a great mom and there for her family. You didn't see her around all that much (as I remember). That was a great show. http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/8934/#c_80480 http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/8934/#c_80480 If I could grow up in any family as a kid, it would have been the Huxtables.

I also love Claire Huxtable!  Also, Mona from Who's the Boss was hilarious and I always had a love for Carol Engle of Little House on the Prairie.  It's been so long since I've watched any of those shows, I don't know that I relate to them; I just liked them! One of my current favorite TV moms would be Lucille Bluth on Arrested Development. http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/8934/#c_80482 http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/8934/#c_80482 I also love Claire Huxtable!  Also, Mona from Who's the Boss was hilarious and I always had a love for Carol Engle of Little House on the Prairie.  It's been so long since I've watched any of those shows, I don't know that I relate to them; I just liked them!

I also liked both mom's from Kate and Ally...they were resourceful and had a sense of humor. I also really relate to Marge Simpson...especially when Ava and Paul engage in a fart-off.

I think I am al little bit of all of them, I loved Lucy as well. But I think I am a little like the Partrige family (MOM) and a lot like Mrs. Cunny Ham from Happy Days.(not sure of the spelling)   They were all great. http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/8934/#c_80507 http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/8934/#c_80507 I think I am al little bit of all of them, I loved Lucy as well.

Hah! That's really interesting to me how many of your relate to Claire Huxtable. I always considered her to be the "has it all" mother. Money, career, lots of great kids, great successful husband (wasn't she a laywer and he a dr?) Good friends... I can't think of anything she didn't have?! I also forgot about Happy Days and the Partridge Family.
