    @Fenian: She wasn't as much of a bad mother as she was blinded by the faith. And she regretted. I can only say for the movie, I never played the game.

    Okay, I'm kind of sad for knowing this.


    In Cooking Mama 2: Dinner With Friends, you cook meals for "Grandpa," "Grandma," and "Papa," Cooking Mama's dad, mom, and husband respectively. You also cook for a variety of children, but two of them (Ayaka and Takuya) look like a combination of Mama and Papa, leading me to believe that Cooking Mama is a married mother of two.


    Now I'm REALLY sad for knowing this.

    Where is BLANKA´s mom? The whole point of him going to the tournament is to find his mother. She should be in the fighter´s mom´s department. His ending is always about him and his mother. Not fair, but cool list nonetheless.

    I just got through Rune Factory 2 on the DS. You start the game out as your father, basically, and you choose who you want your mother to be. It's probably the same regardless of who you choose, but it became painfully evident to me that my mother of choice has never once cooked for me, nor does she ever treat me like her kid, nor do I see any support from her work. (No money or freebies, but she'll let me buy stuff from her like any other customer...) And then Dad leaves, and I have to take care of the whole farm solo at 7 years old? That's pretty cold and negligent. So she's pretty much at the top of my "worst mothers ever" list right now.

    Much as I hate the bitch, I think you're incorrect about Crimson Viper. She at least calls her daughter in between rounds of a fight. Still, can't stand her, so I don't think it should affect her status as worst mother.

    And just when she was becoming the best character, too. *Shakes fist*

    I was really hoping to see a blurb about the mother of the main character of Suikoden V, Queen Falena(sp?). She always struck me as one of the most interesting motherly main characters in a jRPG.

    @IIDXTrick: Good call. I failed as AJ's editor on that one. Suikoden V is one of the few JRPGs that I liked. Should have suggested that one.

    @akumaserge: Earthbound didn't come out in the US, did it? Those role-playing mommies were WAY too numerous to put them all on the list, so sadly, some of the good ones got cut. But thanks for bringing her up :)
