I’ve been having an argument in my head all day about which is the worst mother: Maude Findlay or Sophia Petrillo?
Both can be overbearing and manipulative, such as when Maude put down a deposit on the house next door to force her daughter Carol, and fiancée Chris, to live next door to her. On the other hand, Sophia tried to set up Gloria with Stan even though she knew (or either didn’t give much thought) to how it would hurt Dorothy.
Sophia does have more lines that are directly mean such as: “Dorothy, jealous is a very ugly thing. And so are you in anything backless.” However, this was said more for comedic effect and at the end of the day, Sophia did have a stroke which ruined her filter.
Maude? She probably had a personality disorder. So what say you, DL? I’m going to go with Maude as the worst mother because Sophia had more redeeming qualities and was able to apologize.
