Was Ann Romano a good mother?
She gets a lot of shit for being selfish and self-absorbed, but she raised two decent, well-adjusted girls. Both found stable men to marry.
She also took Alex in when his mother was too busy to take care of him.
She was no Alice and Tawmy. But she had her moments.

OP, she was just trying to take it one day at a time.

"two decent, well-adjusted girls"
Um, did you watch the same show the rest of us watched?

Her daughters both outlived her. So no.

That's right R4. One day when I have oodles of time on my hands I'll cut together all the scenes where Ann punches or slaps someone in the nine-season run and it will be as long as a standalone episode.
Did she ever hit Shelley Fabares, Nannette Fabray, or Michael Lembeck or Boyd Gaynes?

She was a good mother; a positive mother.

She raised her kids to only settle for hot boyfriends.

No decent mother would wear those hideous sweaters and go without a bra

A vicious flat chested ginger dwarf who screamed and slapped the dogshit out of her daughters to keep them from acting like whores and off smack.
She was unsuccessful, so then she brought a precocious baby homosexual into her shitty apartment. She screamed and smacked the dogshit out of him to keep him from being a dirty cocksucker. She was unsuccessful again.
So no, she was not a good mother.

Ann attended the Joan Crawford School for Single Mothers. Disciplining high spirited children was heavily emphasized in the curriculum.

Ann did not seem maternal or warm, unlike Alice Hyatt.

Ann's profound and searching self-analysis prompted by her 36th birthday revealed that she was ultimately not only a good mother, but also a good philosopher.

She failed to teach those sluts tap or softshoe.
Julie could have made them money dancing on a speedball if she had tap training. Barbara would have had a smaller ass.

Julie inherited Ann's fried egg titties. Barbara had big old jugs, though. Are we sure she wasn't adopted?

I typed “Ann Romano” earlier, and it autocorrected to “Ann Aroma.”

What the fuck, Datalounge? This is an ANN ROMANO THREAD, it should be closing in on 600 posts by now.
Have we (finally, thankfully) run out of things to say about this cunt?

If I were a struggling single mom and had those 2 kids I would slap the shit out of them too.

She took a huge fit afterwards but she did absolutely nothing to prevent it.

She was manic, short-tempered, passive-aggressive and self-centered. So no.

Now I'm imagining a downmarket fragrance sold at drug stores.
The box would be in shades of peach and white.

I'll tell you one thing. We all breathed a huge sigh of relief when she loaded up that shitty station wagon and left our little burg for the bright lights of Indianapolis.

Why did every 80s sitcom start with an opener sing-song culminating in a car being driven down a road? Non-stop, one after another a so-called “protagonist” driving on a flippin’ highway? Well whoopie! Sometimes they all just copied each other’s ideas.
