Aw this is a great question! I love the mother in Little Women, she loves her girls and will do anything for them! This is weird but I also really like Khalissi in Game of Thrones, her babies are dragons haha but they work together to rule a kingdom, and the dragons always protect her and vise versa it's just awesome! My own mom is very generous and hilarious!

My main girl in my story is going to be a great mother up until one of the twins creates a portal into another world and time period and they both go through. In her defense daddy was the one watching them the most.

I think the Weasley's mother was a great mother she loved her kids to death and took in Harry Potter countless times. She's very protective of everyone and anyone she loves. Like someone said Harry Potter had a great mother too she sacrificed herself for Harry Potter and that's saying a lot.

My mother is awesome! She's Kind, Funny, Intelligent and very Loving.

Signý. She raised her son to be a hero. ( don't ask what she did to the weak ones.)
