Believe it or not, I do. She is nutts and tries to stay in our business. She also calls about 20 times a day with stupid questions and suggestions. I have gotten to where I don't answer the phone EVER. I also sometimes try to work overtime when there is a family gathering planed just so I don't have to listen to it. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard. Oh,she is Italian too so not only do I get constant talking, but she moves her arms alot and talk very loud with a Buffalo, NY accent.

One of my best friends went to a dead show and basically never came back. She joined the rainbow family after that and moved far away. Now she has four kids and is married to a guy named graybird or some shit.\nSo yea, she never came back.....

Unfortunately, I do think that's a very poisonous relationship to hold onto.  Can you imagine being married to her and having to deal with the in-laws and her brainwashing?  She's 38!  She should be able to stand up for herself.  \n \nJust my opinion.

What's not to love? You have to love the guy. I mean he's a saint! He has a mother who obsesses over him and won't let him ever grow out of being her "little Raymond." He lives with a wife that is a b**tch and a half. (ok I so love her character! But seriously....I'd slap her if I was a guy married ot her). His brother is a 7 foot giant whiner. (Again....his character is fabulous!!) But you have to love a guy that can endure all these mixed up people around him and still stay sane and loveable! I love ya Ray......miss ya too!

I'm a mother-in-law now and would like any of the following :  Flowers to plant and you do the planting; a magazine subscription to something she enjoys; a gift certificate to her favorite restaurant; an invitation to lunch at her favorite restaurant; movie tickets to a movie she's been wanting to see; gift certificate at her favorite cosmetic counter; mini-casseroles made and frozen for her to heat up for lunch or dinner.  If your mother-in-law is a treasure to you, give her a small treasure chest filled with KISSES.  My husband did that for my mother one year.  She loved it.\n\nOne year, because my mother-in-law is negative to me and seems to have her own personal war directed at me, I gave her a PEACE lily.  She never understood the significance, but I did.  It made me feel good, I have not regretted giving it to her, even though she still dislikes me very much and won't speak to me.  Another year I gave her a nice card with Monopoly money in it.  The significance of the money----she's such a phony.  It made her laugh, and I smiled knowing the covert message of the money. She never realized the intent.

My birth mother.  She abandoned me as an infant, and when I found her 40 years later, she turned out to be the meanest b-itch in the south.  I have five siblings and she abandoned all but one of us.  She has a gift for finding the most hurtful possible thing to say and saying it - or so I'm told, because she refuses to speak to me.  She refuses to tell half of us who our fathers are.  She broke up my sister's marriage by sleeping with her son-in-law.  She expressed her discontent with a child support check by wiping her butt with it and sending it back - and she made two of her kids watch her do it.  There are dozens of stories like this.  Even the people who LIKE her don't like her, if you understand what I mean.

Yes. I have watched the show since I was a little girl. I'm 45 now. And I have seen alot of changes on the show. She will be missed. She was good at her job. She was a great interviewer and knew how to do her job. When she had her kids. She invited the world into her life. When she lost her husband, we all morned with her. She was and still is a classy lady

I'm most like Lynette.  I guess it's pretty accurate.  I'm married and gave up my career when I had children.  I've now got two boys (2 years & 4 months).  She's definitely the one I can relate to the most.

I also like Lynette the best because she is real.I also thinkl that Tom is very good looking.I love the way she deals with her kids and her husband. Can you believe that Tom has a daughter but at least Tom is not cheating on her.This situation is going to get very interesting.

I know Carol's first husband was Roy Martin but I don't think that they ever gave a name to Mike's wife.\n  \nIn the first episode, Bobby picks up a picture of his deceased mother that is on his dresser but that is the extent of it....\n\nGood Question now you've got me wondering and Google isn't helping!\n\n:)\nPeace

I agree with Roncarohil - Estelle Getty. My mom was only about 4'8" and such a smartaleck! That's why I watch the show  - it reminds me of her.
