I Remember Mama! - Part 2 (of 3)

A pause in the "saga" of how the clot shots turned my dear ol' Ma to MUSH with a long reflection on what the "MeeDia!" is doin' to the IMAGE of Mothers an' Motherhood AND what we kin do to fight back!

Gaetano Bellei, “Grandmother” (ain’t this a beaute!)

‘fore we start 2 things:

1. My mind is on all the poor people, famblies, includin’ all them Mamas an’ Grammys — who are devastated by the geoengineered set of weaponized-weather murder weapons our globalist gubbamint has collectively called “Hurricane Helene” (they also include tornadoes, at least seven of ‘em, in one blow takin' out folks like flies). As I pray that as many as possible survive this horrifc man-wrought mayhem, may all the good people finally wake up to this madness an’ understand that we must fight back against those who wrought this Hell-In(e) to our sovereign nation. Know thine enemy (so ya kin fight back!) an'may God Bless America.

2. A more apt petition couldn't have come sooner; we gotta git the heck outta the UN & the WHO so:

Dr. Laibow’s POST is HERE. CLICK ON THE BOX ABOVE to SIGN THE PETITION!

The “true crime” saga of the medi-cull mayhem that maimed my own poor Ma more will continue in Part 3 — If ya missed Part 1, mosey-on over HERE first!

I Remember Mama!: PART 2

Lookin’ inta the whole once hugely popular now virtually unknown “Rememberin’ Mama” phenomenon startin’ in Part 1 got me thinkin’ ‘bout what’s happened to the IMAGE of MOTHERS in the last 25 years or so — and it ain’t good! Moreover, it’s fully up to US to fix it too! Nobuddy’s gonna RE-“Teach Our Children Well” for us since this is part’a the PLAN-man ta destroy us—who we are—real people, with real famblies, REAL MAMAs, REAL PAPAs, REAL Grannies & Grampys—not AI-Generated Chimeras, not Mind-Controlled Tranny Birthin’ folks—AND only we kin turn the tide.

So I decided ta take an unplanned DETOUR here ta cover this not insignificant CHANGE in our Western World cuz it’s upon US to UNDO what they DONE-DID!

I’m first startin’ off Part 2 here with some laffs via a nostalgic brace of “vintage” comics from the hilarious Mell Lazarus 📝—who clearly ADORED his actual mother all channeled thru his pitch-poifect character “Momma” in little vignettes that that rang true ta me (even as a youngling) just as strongly as did all the lovely books I read an’ the shows I sawr as a kiddo which similarly featured strong, thoughtful, sometimes nerve-wrackin’, often feisty, dear, lovable MOTHERS. (I’ll git ta that more in a seccy!)

📝 fun fact! Lazarus started out workin’ fer one’a my own heroes, the great comic scribe/illustrator Al Capp—creator of Lil’ Abner which has inspired Daisy-here no end!

Now honorin’ yer Ma (one’a the Ten Commandments too!) was always an important tradition — one which they are now tryin’ to ERASE in this whacky “New Whirled Odor” of stinky dystopian “chest feeders” an’ spaced-aged super-soldiered cyber-women an’ pregnant hairy “transmen” who are BY NO MEANS mothers.

The idea is ta erase an’ then replace MOTHERS as we have always known’em—so there are no mamas left TO honor.

this ain’t no mother (nor a proper substy-toot fer one either!)

It’s no mistake they are destroyin’ the nuclear fambly (talk about a real nuclear attack vs the endlessly threatened ones!)—an’ they’ll be takin’ out Mama FIRST as she holds it together!

To ‘splain this more I’m goin’ off on this little detour—as it’s kinda vital in the bigger picture of “Remembrance of Things Mother” — ’fore gettin’ back ta the deets of my powerful-sorry tale ‘bout my own Ma’s rapid descent inta medi-cully induced Hell from them catastrophic clot shots which you’ll read ‘bout in Part 3 (where I finish up the tale!). SO….

THE PLOT(Z) THICKENS!

Literally an’ linguistically they’re’a’ killin’ off Mamas & Grannies in all manner includin’ via erasure from the LANGUAGE ! I hear the young’uns bein’ so “sensitve” ta their imagined mother-free or granny-free peers by sayin’ just “parent” or referrin’ to “my grandparent Jadite-Logan” or mentionin’ their “grownup watchers” or “birthin’ units” just by “name” as in “Everest-Zephyr was so upset with me I got grounded…”) BUT NO MATTER WHAT, you (who interact with these newfangled young’uns) YOU are not supposed ta say MOTHER or FATHER in the “Nu-Skool” lingo! (Don’t’cha know? It ain’t “inclusive” enuf for those lackin’ one or the other—gah!)

This linguistic ERASURE (in the name of in-clue-sieve-itty comes ta us right in sync with the killer clot-shots & the isolation & hoss-spit-all “proty-culls” which ALL physically REMOVE mothers an’ gran’mas from their famblies an’ from greater society. There’s also the after-effect of rewirin’ their brains, incapacitatin’ ‘em, or simply making ‘em DEAD. So we got linguistic AND physical erasure here!

Are You My (bleepin’!) Mother?

Of COURSE this all seems ta go part ‘n parcel with the globalists’ GOAL-du-jour to DISSOLVE all families an’ familial ties (so kids kin easily be official state property…) whilst triggerin’ a kinda schizo DISSOCIATION betwixt an’ between fambly members so they kin no longer related to each other either.

Oh no, sez they! I was born in the “WRONG FAMBLY” (as well as in the wrong BODY). I mean this is a THING now (hard ta believe it—but them youn’uns DO).

And true ta form, in my Ma’s post-jabberoos state, I really do not KNOW her! I mean we’re still “related” but I don’t recognize/wreck-o’-nize my own Mother any more—who she is now. She is so CHANGED—altered—that I feel a mite dissociated from her myself!

• Thus, while I MOURN the LOSS of my own Ma—who lives but is now a sorry shell of her former, once-vital “self”— I’m also tellin’ a much BIGGER STORY here! It’s a MOTHER of a tale too!

It really IS an attempted total nuclear plandemic “fambly FALLOUT” an’ the BLAST attempts ta knock out all our Mothers an’ hit the DELETE button on the important role our Mamas serve in our human existence (ergo quite the “inhuman” endeavor!).

Heck, even in the MSM The Atlantic “predictively” covered the (wished-for) downfall of the nuclear fambly HERE.

another BLAST for the the fam here…

I do fear that IF we lose our sense of WHAT a Mother is—what a Mother can be to us—an’ can mean to us as humans—then we’re really done for!

An’ if we don’t any longer each see ourselfs EACH as a Mother’s Child—then we’ve lost OUR own definition too, even sans the “woketard” edge-u-cation. What I mean by this is how we define “OURSELFS” as children or as adult-children too—as children of MOTHERS.*

* There’s a reason they literally banned the word “mother” in Brave New World y’all!—they gotta tell us what they’re gonna do ‘fore they do it.

Think ‘bout that fer a moment… In polite conversation we might say an’ often used ta say, “Oh I’m Mimi’s child…” (even if we’re all growed up!), or we might introduce ourselfs in the manner of, ”pleased ta meet ya Miss Skeeterpie, I’m Miz Junebug’s youngest daughter an’ she she sent me callin’” or “Yes sir, Mister Boobiehatch, I do believe you knew my Mother, I’m Ferlin Junior…” an’ so on.. No more! At least not if them baddies keep gettin’ their way!

In the NWO there’ll only be children of “THE STATE” — detached from Ma & Pa, Grannie an’ Grampy, whisked off ta skool after that first year at daycare an’ then only allowed to see their parents (biological OR bio-illogical!) a few times a year.*

* Seriously, that’s one’a the plans I read about… kids will NOT live at home even! Only allowed THREE parental visits a year!

Thus… the only GOOD kinda inoculation (which ain’t indoctrination)

So while I’m 100% anti-jab, I’m all FOR inoculatin’ ourselfs and our kiddos with the INDELIBLE an’ timeless images of MOTHERHOOD (an’ FATHERHOOD too, natch, an’ also those of FAMILIES) while we still are able ta do so!—before they take it all away—before they erase, delete, an’ MEMORY HOLE that dear “maternal person” an’ the vital position they “held” human in our lives from birth onward!

Goin’, goin’, GONE! ╰┈➤🚪

As a writer that likes ta dig up nifty ol’ vintage images, I kin already see THE disappearance & full out ERASURE of a lot’ve MOM & POP illustrations I used ta find easy as pie! — “nuclear fambly” stuff too, all fadin’ from them search engines like so much invisible ink!

…that means harder work fer me too as it used ta be this stuff wuz plentiful as kitty litter — search engines all but ELIMINATED this kinda thing and replaced it with “Corporate Memphis.”

1953 Mobil (gas) AD - fambly fun featurin’ BOTH parents! - now in 2024 there are ZERO Mobil (Exxon) images of fambly “motorists” on car trips—NET zero!

THE GOOD MAMAs an’ how to keep ‘em

Just as in “Fahrenheit 451” protagonist Guy learns how to “preserve” books by literally memorizin’ an’ TELLING them (oral storytellin’ tradition!), so it’s similarly my humble belief that it’s on US to retain clear pictures of OUR HUMANITY, of our MOTHERS & fathers too!

We need to recall, RETAIN, and SHARE (‘specially with our kids an’ the young’uns in our lives—an’ I mean teens & young adults too!) our collective an’ remembered “vintage” an’ singular “Western Civilization” imagery of “Mom, Ma, & Mother” in all her glorious variations. Not just picture-perfect “Mrs. Cleaver”—’tho we kin include her, sure! (fwiw Barbara Billingsley who played June Cleaver was DYNO-MITE in Airport! speakin’ jive tee hee!) but ruther we gotta “preserve & promote” the many images of all sorts’ve attentive, GOOD MAMAs… be they Norman Rockwelly dignified ones, hippy-crunchy ones, silly ones, lovin’ ones, bizzy ones, or relaxin’ ones—Good Mamas in all their GLORIOUS variations—like the many indelible MAMAs many of us still remember!

Beaver’s pitch-perfect mother June Cleaver (Barbara Billingsley)

This, a qwik look-back at some Mamas in our “public” consciousness…

Examples. I’ll start with a mention of the strong, lovin’ matriarch from “I Remember Mama” (where-from comes the eponymous title of this substack postin’!) with a nod to the many classic mothers so beautifully depicted in stories an’ on the silver screen, in the telly and of course in all great story books.

“Ma” Ingalls from “Little House in the Big Woods”—illustration by Garth Williams

Too many good’uns come ta mind! There’s “Ma” from Laura Ingalls Wilder’s “Little House” series (Ma bein’ the stalwart, handy, stubborn & biased! yet fiercely loving force that held that memorable fambly together), or there’s “Anne Hilton” (played nobly & sensitively by actress Claudette Colbert) in the epic “Since You Went Away”—one’a the best wartime films made! (imho) showin’ a solid Ma that has a stiff upper lip fer her fambly an’ only loses it in private (silent tears of worry fer her hubby on the war front).

“Shirley Partridge,” the winner of the Groovy Mom award!

The concept of “Mother“ in all her vulnerabilities AND varieties”—garden an’ not!—is also embodied by the likes of All in the Family’s warm an’ dizzily self-denigratin’ oft-derided character ‘Edith “Dingbat” Bunker’ portrayed with equal parts poignancy and pitch-perfect parody by the late-great actress Jean Stapleton.

dear dear “Edith Bunker”

On the pop culcha’ end of things, let’s throw in a little Erma Bombeck, groovy Mrs Partridge (above—portrayed by songstress Shirley Jones—an’ okay, I REALLY wanted a swell, hip mom like her!), Lily Munster (wanted a mom like her TOO plus I was gaga over her taste in decoratin’!), Lucy Ricardo, and a dash of the delightful Gertrude Berg (from The Goldbergs) for good measure! (Ha ha, I grew up on reruns!) While we’re addit, OF COURSE… I cain’t not mention the funniest an’ most common-sense-icle teevee matriarch dearest to my heart, mah beloved namesake, Granny Clampett! (portrayed with pep, piss an’ vinegar, and a dash of schmaltz by the inimitable Irene Ryan).

“Granny” keeps the fambly fed (hogs jowls 2nite!) an’ holds it together!

Now the above-listed fine laydeez are just’a scant few of many nuanced, loveable, an’ richly depicted Mamas (an’ grannies!) from 20th C popular culture an’ literature. I do stick ta the pre-2000’s as they started really “messin’ with Mama” right before the new millenium—tho’ lookin’ back I kin see stuff even ‘fore then in retrospect.

THE BAD MAMAs an’ how to keep ‘em… IN PERSPECTIVE!

No “mother of the year” awards fer the fabulous ladies of AB FAB !

A good example of the modern (‘er post-modern?) underminin’ of the whole CONCEPT of Mothers an’ makin’ the “burdens” of Motherhood a bother and a DISTRACTION more than a blessin’ wuz “Ab Fab” (tho I did love it muchly!) In that purdy outrageously bold an’ enjoyably preposterous series comedienne Jennifer Saunder’s hilarious “Eddie” (Edwina) was possibly the WORST tevee mother ever seen on a regular series! But she was likeable! We warmed to her! And yup, we guiltily tolerated her abominable disregard fer motherhood. (interestin’, no?)

Single, smokin’ (like a chimney!), oft-sloshed, oft high, oft “OFF” on some farflung fashion show adventure (with drunken pal / biz partner Patsy at her side), oft-irresponsible and near-always neglectful (fondness aside) of “Saffy” (i.e. Saffron, her ever-patient daughter), Eddie was the most self-actualized “MODERN” mother I’d seen an’ the most mortifyin’ one too! At one point she calls her teen daughter at home an’ requests that Saffy “order”(!) her a refugee baby from Romania—more as an “accessory” than as an act of charity (since all the celebs were buyin’ refugee babies that season!)

Clearly a SEND UP but it sharply reflected modern times and modern mores which prior generations had NOT seen before (this newfangled incarnation of Mum came thanks ta the Tavistock infusion of a certain breed of radicalized “feminism” inta the Western Psyche—an’ hope I ain’t talkin’ about gettin’ the vote!). I’ve no doubt that Saunders (who also wrote her own material with Dawn French aka “Patsy”) was mercilessly skewerin’ the VERY REAL lousy mums she’d keenly observed herself in showbiz, in fashion🌸, and in life. But ordinarly mums an’ mamas were soon to be shown these such “modern” mamas in shows that follered this cheeky trailblazer — an’ those were not spoofin’!

🌸 Lord knows the fashion industry duly deserved the digs —‘twas a biz Daisy here had some tenuous ties to havin’ directed a few fashion viddeoys back in the day for designer-friends an’ also havin’ had other pals who worked in various lower-food-chain capacities in the biz—cutters, pattern makers, a milliner, two “dressers,” and a dept. store window dresser!

I’d say that on AB FAB more ‘n half the laffs on that show came from Eddie bein’ the most inappropriate, self-absorbed, immature an’ truly atrocious mother on television— and the clarion call fer a NEW TREND of bad bad moms that were ta come AFTER….

“Eddie” (the tipsy brunette) below:

Compare her to capable, responsible “Anne” mentioned above:

a still from “Since You Went Away”: Mother Anne Hilton (Claudette Colbert) who admirably holds down the fort while her husband is away at war, anxiously reads a wartime missive flanked by her equally worried daughters (portrayed beautifully by Shirley Temple and Jennifer Jones)

Imperfect Moms were always a thing (a few faves o’mine include: Blondie Bumstead, Laura Petrie, Lucy Ricardo, Wilma Flintstone, Maude (omg Maude!), Florida Evans, Ann Romero✳️, Carol Brady✳️ ,an’ too many more ta list!) BUT they were GOOD MOTHERS—quirky, neurotic, funny!!!!, worriers, yellers, foot-stomppers an’ even pranksters BUT neither selfish nor neglectful, AND always THERE fer their beloved kids.

A FEW outliers like AB FAB an’ a couple other messed-up mamas from 1990s series (I’d vote in Livia Soprano myself an’ some from my era wanna add in Peggy Bundy) stood in stark (often comic) contrast to the GOOD MOMS that took up the majority of big & little screen time back then.

YET, I posit these “bad moms” triggered a heretofore unknown an’ newly NORMALIZIN’ trend of depictin’ awful examples of motherin’ — includin’ (eventually) 21st Century shows like the one actually called “Bad Mothers!“ an’ the crummy likes of “Desperate Housewives” an’ made-for-teevee moovies such as “The Bad Mother's Handbook.” Never seen these latter deeze-asters but I DO see how the (bad) seeds were planted!

✳️ I also didn’t realize as a kiddo how many moms were divorcees—that WUZ groomin’ us kids ta accept single parent households as normal—but at LEAST those moms were awesome, lovin’, endearin’ no matter how nutsy they could be!

• Prior to the 2000’s nearly all teevee moms were GOOD MOTHERS.

• AFTER the start of the 2000’s a large portion of teevee moms were BAD MOTHERS.

ah, so, lewd, crude, an’ rude Moms: party girls givin’ EVERYONE the finger? settin’ great examples fer girls I’m sure…

An’ git a load of this one—BAD GRANNIES TOO! (holy heck, whaaat?!)—featurin’ Florence Henderson (yup, our beloved Mrs. Brady) cast on purpose ta undermine her long reputation as “the nice teevee mom” as she portrays (per IMDB): "a pot-smoking grandmother turned ringleader of older women trying to outwit a conman"—and MURDERING him!” and then tryin’ to cover up the murder! which the site noted as being “the antithesis of what audiences were used to seeing from her” (er, that’s an understatement!)

bad killer grannies in bad wigs!

Here’s the vintage GOOD MOM Carol Brady — ‘fore she went “BAD!”

Now, let’s face it, many kids, includin’ my own self sawr way too much of the “boob tube” growin’ up, but that trend that was literally a booby TRAP fer us older generations just about EXPLODED in the diggy-tale age — less trap now a virtual prison. It went from kids indulgin’ in a couple-few half-hour shows a day more ‘r less TO constant bombardment of MeDia! An’ just in time fer that explosion—was the explosion (i.e. detonation) of the NUCLEAR fambly on Prime Time TV replete with bad mamas, deadbeat (or missin’) daddies, crime shows non-stop, and also… a lotta frightenin’ Goth / Death / morbid stuff to obsess the impressionable “youngers” with the Dark Side (an’nuther story but one worth tellin’ too!) How’d it change right under our noses?!

South Park’s worst BAD MOM: the never-married Liane Cartman who posed for porn, slept with multiple menfolk at the town dance so doesn’t know who her son’s real daddy is, let’s her son play “Nazi” an’ be mean to animals, bully other kids, an’ she feeds her obese kid a “crap-ton” of cheesy poofs & pancakes… not good!

I cite teevee in particular because many generations grew up with the television as a kinda babysitter or at least as an extra fambly member in their households. Cain’t HELP but have influenced ALL of us (most of American kids at least) who sat starin’ at that all-consumin’ screen, baskin’ in them mildly radioactive cathode rays. I’m sure I wartched TOO DANG MUCH teevee most days, growin’ up in the 70’s—bad enuf fer sure but at least the REST of my day was real! (after-skool piana lessons, dance classes, drama club, swim…homework, music practice, etc. Some kids today lack even THAT kinda balance so they’re completely OFF BALANCE!)

So this may drop yer jaw what I’ll share below in a seccy—it did mine!—cuz while I/Daisy could fer the most part ONLY think of TEE-RIFFIC TV MAMAS (apart from the hilarious AB FAB’s “Eddie” previously mentioned an’ mebbe Eric Cartman’s “bizzy” mom Liane from the very-much-grown-up South Park “diss-splayed” in the cartoon montage above…), it appears that young women today kin cite TOO-FEW GOOD MAMAs and INSTEAD kin easily list a passle’ve BAD MOMS — rotten-bad ‘uns—from their own fave teevee shows.

Here’s SIXTY (count ‘em!) lousy mamas from 21st C. television — rangin’ from neglectful ta mean ta murderous! The laydees who posted ‘bout this stuff actually don’t all agree on “who’s the baddest” but the EXTENT and SIZE of this list is a mite SHOCKIN’, no?

I. Had. No. Idea!

NOTE: I have not personally seen ANY of these shows so I cannot opine on just HOW BAD these MAMAs ARE but it seems there’s no shortage of ‘em!

So like I said… MOTHERS (good ones at least) are bein’ ELIMINATED from popular culture. Frankly it’s SKEERY that newer generations are SO BOMBARDED with BAD MOMS… an’ not just a few of ‘em either.

IMHO doin’ this WILL turn off young GALS from havin’ their own famblies. It’ll also give the FELLERS who watch these shows SUCH a bad impression of women-as-mothers (women turnin’ feral, ruinin’ their marriages!), that they too will reject havin’ famblies.

They’ll all be RUNNIN’ FROM THAT STORK!

These potential future moms are bein’ sold LIES!—groomed ta think that havin’ kids EITHER destroys “who you are” (all that ME ME ME generation crap) OR makes ya FEARFUL of “ruining” yer kids as “so much kin go WRONG” raisin’ a fambly or tryin’ ta so it “the right way.” Egads! Neither is true! 🎨🖌

🎨🖌 example: long ‘fore “feminism” the amazin’ly talented Renaissance painter Lavinia Fontana had eleven children an’ even the most famous an’ awesome Artemisia Gentileschi had five. Both kept paintin’ WHILST raisin’ their broods, both were from famblies that earned their board & keep as art teachers & supported the gals’ métiers!

Hence, we git wack-a-doodles “Child Free”movements an’ other such nuttiness. (fer the record, I full-out respect that some folks simply don’t want ta have kidz but that’s a looong stretch away from promotin’ “childFREE-dumb” as the ideal option in this
whatta ”way-to-go” MOVEMENT!)

Dingit all! 🤬 Many of us didn’t even notice this VILI-FRYIN’ of MOTHERHOOD fer the past 20+ years.

In our case it went on while we had no TV an’ weren’t even lookin’! but faster than Superman (the guy that flew faster than a speedin’ bullet!) it all changed from the good teevee mamas (an’ good teevee daddies) of my youth ta what’cha see above… If ONLY the ladies payin’ attention to these newly minted LIES knew the TRUTH! :

Motherin’ surely ain’t a walk in the park but it’s a fine dance in the mud—and a fun one at that! -Daisy

BAD INFLUENCErz!

And this ANTI-MOTHER MOVEMENT ain’t only in books an’ on the telly —it’s on them innertubes via influencers an’ via the social mee-dia “sites” where the young gals congregate (digitally) such that the once-almost-sacred image of motherhood is bein’ SHREDDED!—replaced with pot-smokin’ messed-up mamas (like ya see in them shows mentioned on the list), dressin’ up like ho’s an’ bein’ more interested in plastic surgeries or their Only Fans profits (!) than in carin’ fer their kids — who are now all conveniently “distracted” on devices while arguably even more-distracted “Mom” is also glued ta her phone (shoppin’ fer men or shoes). UGH!

HOW kin it be these “mommy influencerz” have MILLIONS of “followerz?!”

The Real Holly Jane is a proud MORMON and a MOTHER and a SEX WORKER — wull, don’t she “have it all?” — egads! An’ there are thousands of these far racier!

IMHO:

OUR “mothers” should not be “MILFS” or “COUGARS” or frickin’ “DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES!”

They should not be routinely depicted as petty bimbos obsessed with make-overs an’ Manolos!

They should NOT be sellin’ their botoxed booties (whatevah) on Only Fans or other similarly monetized channels of humiliation—cain’t imagine if their chillin are PROUD of this?! That their dear muthers’ll take off their panties fer a price?!?!

Even worse, some of these Bad Mutha’s are doin’ “Only Fans” WITH their daughters — even celebs and this jaw-droppin’ practice is TRENDING (?!?)

Compare the above Mother-Daughter 21st C “teams” with the kind I remember below:

Judy & daughter Liza sing a duet together!

Such gawd-awful near-poisonous MSM newly wrought daffynitions of MOMs of semi-recent vintage have been foisted upon us as part of the process to morph EVERYTHING we once KNEW about MOTHERS into something sick, dirty, nasty, superficial, an’ near-toxic an’ just plain GROSS!

And that ain’t all…. they got’cha by the BOOKS too!

Art, music lyrics, an’ yes… books too 😢

“Dog Woman” 1994 by Paula Rego —er, this is AHRT? woof?

EVEN for “readers” not immersed in the MeeDia (which I think means the dang “god” of “me”), in recent “literature” an entire generation of popular FICTION writers (mostly women too!) are basing their works on the CONCEPT of BAD MOTHERS—entire books about resentful, inept, un-maternal, BAD MAMAS. (oy again!)

YES THIS IS A TREND! an’ it lists popular (an’ well-promoted) novels with titles like “Nightbitch” an’ “The School for Good Mothers” — Whahappened?!!!! (and when?)

Meanwhile, I’m still stuck in the land of dear Marmee & the March sisters!

“Little Women” illustration by Jessie Willcox Smith

WTF? NO this ain’t good nooze at all!

After celebratin’ new works ‘bout BAD MAMAs the above-cited piece admits the followin’ (fer those attentive enuf ta git to the bottom while scrollin’ on their phones which MOST DO NOT DO see cuz they skim only the top parts). IT SEZ (my emphasis):

“ ‘Bad’ mothers are scary, scarier than werewolves or vampires or any other mythical beast, because of the lasting damage they can inflict by reneging on their great, potentially crushing responsibility.”

Wull that’s an ass-backwards take with some trooth in it… So tho’ the writer recognizes that indifferent or lousy motherin’ CAN (an’ will often) inflict “lasting damage” on the kids (‘an bravo fer seein’ that…), YET I worry that she depicts motherhood as a “crushing responsibility.”

The joys of motherhood are now a “crushing” chore?

and the images like the one above-right are far too plenty-full now’daze

Hogwarsh! CRUSHING? I mean JeezeLouise laydee, put on yer “Big Girl Pants” an’ hoist up yer britches! — it’s hard work, sure, but the joys pay off in bundles! Selectin’ a word like “crushin’ “ sends innocent litter-airy young’uns to foul charnel houses like Planned Parenthood (where “crushin’” is REALLY what’s goin’ on gawd help us!).

So yes, it’s a TREND to be a lousy mama an’ git fist bumps an’ sympathy for it… (cuz it’s soooooo hard….?) which is WHY we need to… dump the BUNK and….

REMEMBER MAMA! — “An’ Howes!”

In the Part 1 of this piece I mentioned the American moosicle of “I Remember Mama” featurin’ the MOOSE-a’-Call atonal “talents” of the otherwise lovely Liv Ullmann so… THANKFULLY (thankfully!) the London Cast features a GENUINE an’ “truly scrumptious” talent, nightingale (ignore the accent tho’!) Sally Anne Howes!

Yup, we gotta “REMEMBER MAMA!”
(just like the story/book/movie/musical sez!)

And…THIS (Rememberin’ GOOD Mamas!) IS INDEED HOW WE FIGHT against the “SKEERY MUTHAs” they’ve tryin’ ta shove down our throats in their dystopian vision of the future, fright-queen moovie mommies like Mother Sophia, or like THIS kinda new Hell they wanna foist on us! Oh yeah, they’re doin’ it in the SIN-ema too:

“In the wake of humanity's extinction, a teenage girl is raised by a robot designed to repopulate the earth.”..

It’s one thing (or wuz once) to depict a few outrageously awful OUTLIER Mamas that were in no way codified as “common” — an’ only shown as “grown-up” moovies (vs all-ages fambly films). Havin’ Shelley Winters as “Ma Barker” chewin’ up the scenery (to our guilty “spectatorial” pleasure) was NEVER meant ta be normalized. Addin’ the likes of yer “Mommy Dearest” an’ similar joker-faced Joan types or the far more ruthless ones like MKUltra “handler” Mrs. Iselin from “The Mancurian Candidate.” (oh my) .

So how izzit that TODAY the outlier MALEVOLENT MURDERIN’ MAMAS that were the RARE OUTLIERS are now commonplace? Expected even?

This phenomenon of BAD MOMS in the “adult” realm ain’t half as harmful as what the kiddies are now seein’!

an’ seein’ what the KIDS are exposed to makes me wanna HOLLER out:

Stop SCARIN’ the KIDS inta thinkin’ MAMAs are KILLERS!

Bad Moms seen from “below!” (a kids pov).
We begin with a sample “children’s” book based on the legend of “La Llorona.”

La Llorona (Latin American Spanish: ‘the Crying Woman, the Wailer') is a vengeful ghost in Mexican folklore who is said to roam near bodies of water mourning her children whom she drowned in a jealous rage after discovering her husband was unfaithful to her. Whoever hears her crying either suffers misfortune or death and their life becomes unsuccessful in every field.

WRECK-O-Mended fer ages 7 and up (2nd grade?!) an’ featurin’ not only a “killa” mama but a rotten daddy too:

now there’s a friendly image fer the little nippers!

Yup, there’s a mighty disturbin’ NORMALIZIN’ of freaky mothers in the eyes of the kiddies—not just in “ghost stories” either! Nope, they’re specifically those depicted in kid-flicks an’ fambly films: the trope of the Bad Muther who’ll “git cha” —OR the Bad Muther who doesn’t understand ya so you leave yer bad Ma to fiercely an’ bravely set out ON YER OWN — searchin’ fer subty-toot parent types (with good tattoos!) that “see” your “authentic self” — likely under some LGBTQ++Stromboli-with Cheese-Tribe hut in Portland, O.R. (oy) Trust me, it’s a THING.

In line with what happened to grown-up shows ‘tween the 20th an’ the 21st century, a similar steam roller effect hit children’s programmin’. Even back at least a good 20 years (so I’ve learned!) they started to ERODE what mama’s ARE an’ how they BEHAVE in not only the general consciousness — but in kids’ media too!

Witness the “Other Mother” from Coraline (2009) as one of many examples offered to the “kiddies.” Don’ git me wrong—I LOVE Neil Gaiman an’ Coraline’s no exception (EXCEPT it should be for TEENs not little kids fergadsakes) — statin’ this current Me2 accusations aside—and my kids know his stuff well—BUT here Chez Moses this kinda “bad mother” stuff has been offered late enough ta not traumatize the little AND in concert with films & other fine tales of far many more FABULOUS mamas—always!

the “Other Mother” character from Coraline

So to UNDO what’s DONE we gotta soak (!) young minds in a bath of many more contrastin’ characters an’ imagery—that of DECENT, KIND, STRONG mamas like the GOOD ONES I listed way up yonder (Ma Ingalls et al.) an’ we better do it now not later if we wanna save our future generations from goin’ down a velly dangerous path which, ulitmately, leads to hatin’ or resentin’ or even fearin’ the lady that birthed ya! (I’m skeered as heck seein’ them Only Fans mamas—WORSE than a horror flick skeered!)

AND by all means, while we’re talkin’ ‘bout “immersin’ “ newer generations in positive images of motherhood, by all means puhleese don’t show ‘em ONLY reruns of old teevee shows! (ha ha, no matter how good those characters were an’ how fond Daisy is of ‘em!—sure share a bit by all means but…)

CHANGE THE SCRIPT!

I ALSO mean BOOKS, ART WORKS, MUSICALS (moosicles!), FEATURE FILMS,—POEMS! SONGS! all sorts of things! and what goes without sayin’ (but I’ll say it anyway!) have ‘em meet REAL FOLKS that defy all them awful bad-mutha stereotypes.

I love that Mama Bunny’s readin’ ta her little one ;-)

Git those kiddos out of their virtual hell hole worlds! Yank ‘em off social MeDia an’ if need be tug-o-war ‘em outta the way of stoopid, toxic “in-flu-enzers!” — who have the ability ta make bodies AND minds real sick!—plus they are way-too-dangerous lure fer the young an’ ideologically vulnerable!

As Stephen Sondheim so profoundly said through his heart-breakin’ song from “Into the Woods,” CHILDREN WILL LISTEN. Careful the things you say…and do (and show). But if you do them “right,” children will glisten ;-)—they are our precious gifts!

An’ cuz I cain’t decide ‘tween the two…

(how’z zat fer double yer pleasure double yer fun… good song, eh?—it’s actually ‘bout some very HARSH stuff Sondheim’s own mama told him—an’ shouldn’t have…)

So yes, careful ‘bout what they’re exposed to an’ how info’s presented an’ WHEN (not too early!)—It’s harder now given far more “landmines” depictin’ Baaad Mamas an’ deranged famblies… so make it a point to show ‘em DECENT, REASSURIN’ IMAGES & STORIES ‘bout famblies, ‘bout GOOD LOVIN’ MAMAs (however imperfect)…. and of course tell ‘em ya love ‘em while yer attit too!

I see SO many parents today NOT doin’ a speck of CURATING what their kids see online let alone in the “museum of life” where some stuff on exhibit is just NOT OK!

They’re so dang bizzy on their own phones an’ deeVICES that they don’t even KNOW what their kiddos are seein’ or hearin’ or readin’ OR whom they’re talkin’ to! An’ this I’m puttin’ forth apart from gubbamint skool that teaches ‘em all manner of graphic (“novel” is right!) naughty nasties PLUS that UN Agenda that they don’t need a gend’a! nor fathers nor mothers nor much of anything in the world of hairy-chest-feeders either (gah!).

PAYIN’ ATTENTION!

Ma’s & Pa’s today GOTTA PAY FAR BETTER ATTENTION to the “bad stuff” passin’ before their children’s peepers (an’ do their best ta limit it at very least…) and instead:

SHARE with ‘em: 💐 DA GOOD STUFF! 💐

an’nuther fine illustration by Jessie Willcox Smith —dis here’s GOOD STUFF!

THOSE simple steps alone, imho, will make a big diff as otherwise some kids today ONLY get the sorry likes of shows either featurin’ bad mamas or absent ones! Many’ve ‘em haven’t seen the “good stuff” as parentin’s gotten lazy—too much effort?—so “zey” (you know who) took advantage, stepped right in to indoctrinate ‘em!

Click onnit to make it big

No surprise I found lotsa evidence of really bad parentin’ in cartoons an’ kids shows replete with BAD MAMAs, all over them innertubes! Since this cartoonery is unfamiliar to me, I’ll simply list a few “repeat offenders” in cartoon-world that others have cited. Feel free ta do yer own research—but here’s some awful cartoon parents cited by all that wartch the stuff:

• “The Turners, Patrick's Parents, Spongebob's parents, Mr. Krabs, the Loudhouse parents, The Fentons (all on Nick aka Nickelodeon).”

• “FOP (Fairly Odd Parents) & Rugrats have pretty much all their parents as bad or straight up horrible.”

• “Hey Arnold has the Patakis who are actually the worst, Danny's parents weren't great, and Avatar had Ozai & the Beifongs (I get she's a blind 12 year old but who hires bounty hunters to get their lost daughter?)”

• Oft mentioned too in lists of bad parents in kids’ shows are “Adventure Time” an’ “Caillou” (because the parents let the little boy abuse his baby sister!)

here “Bad Bunny” gits a new meanin’ when it comes ta M&R’s parents!

Watchin’ only shows that portray a truly twisted / skewed humanity without ANY sane counter-BALANCE (via books or other modes) or picture of normative parentin’ that serves as contestation to this crappery—really leaves a kid unmoored.

…with no direction home, where are we goin’?

Plus it’s ultimately / also gonna be THEIR loss (that of these young viewers exposed only to this kinda fambly-UNfriendly material) as they’ll grow up LACKing (dare-I-say it): “Western / Judeo-Chrisitan” values—like lovin’ an’ appreciatin’ an’ honorin’ yer MOTHER!!! (sheesh!) Raisin’ kids as unmoored empty vessles with no sense of their own humanity of course fits in with both Agenda 30 an’ them UN Suss-STAINable Development goals. They want kids turnin’ AWAY from HOME and TO THE STATE for comfort an’ direction.

It’s up to US, all’ve us!

WE must be the compass! Nobuddy’s comin’ along on a white horse to save the day. If we don’t fix this up ourselfs (an’ soon too!), then we’ll lose that frame of reference, the MATERIAL that supports US (as human beans! as keepers of hearth & home) for MANY HUNDREDS of YEARS! It’s up ta us to keep older books an’ imagery— fambly photos, literature, music, even documents from our past (like old letters & valentines saved in our own dang fambly hist’ries…). Our past, who we are, our histories won’t even make any sense to those now missing out in another 10/20 years; heck with all these newfangled “identities” bein’ pushed, they might not even recognize “Mamas” or “Papas” any more at all!

Or perhaps the terms “mother” and “father” too will become FULLY banned unmentionable obscenities like in Brave New World? I do wonder…they’re already doin’ it in skools… Kid’s’ll be confused like this little lost birdie:

P.D. Eastman’s “Are You My Mother?” — this little bird mistook his mother for a digger! His mistake, of course, was out of innocence, not indoctrination!

We cannot possibly fully seal out leat alone erase all that bad imagery an’ all the pitifully poor portrayals of Mamas, BUT it’s all about: BALANCE !

Mama’s are always balancin’ their babies!

BALANCE is the operative word here. We are talkin’ about tipping the scales BACK in the direction of SANITY! Weighting the opposin’ side with normalcy—includin’ GOOD MOTHERS. It means RE-EDUCATING entire generations!

Millennials, Gen-Z-erz, Alphas —  I’d say it’s from mebbee 1988 onward… near FORTY years of human beans needin’ ta be shown all they missed!

Givin’ ‘em that good stuff cannot erase from their impressionable minds all the negative they might have already learned, observed, or have been exposed to (includin’ ‘bout “BAD MUTHAS”)—indeed t‘would be diabolical ta do so —but ruther to ENRICH ‘em—to strengthen the GOOD (mental) MUSCLES an’ hopefully in so-doin’, to weaken the grip of the BAD ONES on these young yet-elastic minds.

So my angle is not to censor (‘cept I’d like ta strip - ha!—all that porno crap that goes fer literature outta the skools) but instead to OFFER — to offer that BALANCE that’s sorely lackin’ today! To emphasize the positive which will help bring BACK that balance we somewhat older generations were lucky ‘nuff ta git! — an’ ta quote Johnny Mercer, to elminate that negative too!

In other words, ya gotta AC-CENT-TCHU-ATE the Positive!

And not only BALANCE but also LIMITS and TIMING

I grew up with a lotta teevee (BUT thankfully a lotta books too!), yet my kiddos have NEVER had teevee, not even cable!—an’ my eldest is a young adult now, my youngest an older teen. No social MeDia ‘er smart phones either. Sure, I mebbe on the far end of diggin’ in my heels in against all them new forms of “media” but there’s something to it! 😉 No regrets!

And then there’s the “timing” of when kids can see stuff, when they have the wherewithall ta process it —and that differs with each kid!

Parents don’t seem ta know this today. Why we had neighbors that showed their little year olds Jaws and Omen II & a few more new skeery ones I don’t recall—I know cuz they invited my 2 an’ I said “thanks but no thanks ;-)” An’ them neighbors kids DID have nightmares too!

At this point in time my velly BIG girls have seen a fair amount of old stuff on viddeyo, teevee included— for example, I Love Lucy, Carol Burnett, The Twilight Zone — an’ now we wartch old flicks all the time, BUT… I didn’t show my littles much media at all ‘til after age 5* an’ even then I still held off on exposure to scarier characters like this version of “The Snow Queen” or the “Child Catcher” from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang — later favorites when they had the capacity to process that kinda character. By then they’d already had literally YEARS of GOOD MAMAS and GOOD PAPAs too! in stories, in books, in poems, in nursery rhymes, in song, in plays (we went to a lotta children’s theater), and in seein’ art. All this ta say, start slow an’ build from a solid, “reassurin’ “ foundation.

*okay I wuz fully duped inta puttin’ on “Baby Einstein” viddeoys on every so often from ‘bout age 2 — they were just classical moozic with images of movin’ spinnin’ toys but they made some…er… false claims (ha ha) that we’d turn out littles inta little Einsteins! if we showed ‘em this kinda “stimulatin’ stuff”—yup, all got duped!

Beatrix Potter: “Mama Cottontail” & her bunnies

And… ya build that sturdy foundation overTIME! They say Rome wuzn’t built in a day AND that patience is a great virtue. Both so very true. Too many young peepull today missed gettin’ a solid foundation in humanity / fambly / morals, so no WONDER they all topple… meanin’ no WONDER they’re all so overly sensitive an’ not resilient or willin’ ta endure an’ perservere or even fail!
As Rudyard Kipling so wisely laid out regardin’ personal strength and resilience in his masterpiece of a poem “IF”…

If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same…

Only then kin we reach comin’ of age into capable adulthood.

With these unmoored young’uns, SJWs all, somehow the flimsy three legged stools buckle, their safe spaces ain’t safe “enough” an’ they try ta solve their woes with mew-tillatin’ surgeries or they “cut themselfs” or mebbe even ponder suicide; they don’t know who they are or where they came from! Seems ta me that perhaps nobuddy took the time—an’ put forth the love—to show ‘em! Famblies!

lovin’ dat teen son

We MUST go back to what humans have always had, always remembered—PARENTS! Mamas! Papas! Grannies! Gran’paws! FAMBLIES.

PASS IT ON! (that’s both an order and a blessin’!)

Chip in’ an help the effort! Don’t matter if yer married or single, a parent or notta parent—if you have a kid or even a young adult within earshot, talk to ‘em! Show ‘em stuff! How ta carve a thing outta wood, how ta play them licks on the geetar, how ta make that valentine from a chewin’ gum wrapper! So I’m gonna assume ya’all DIDN’T grow up in a cabbage patch so you will, most likely, have some fine personal memories an’ stories of growin’ up to SHARE with the younger generation. An’ thats’ true EVEN if ya were raised by the most average un-extra-ordinary fambly — cuz if ya gotta good grasp of the importance of havin’ families, lovin’, “there for ya”—no matter how shouty they may have gotten!—then yer already halfway there. And I’ll add too—for some that sadly did NOT git raised in intact or “good” famblies—many have survived and grown to mentor younger generations just knowin’ their situation was NOT the norm—’specially if they got exposed ta good “parental figures” along the way. Gran’parents? Neighbors that helped? I know so MANY stories like this! If YOU grew up knowin’ that in this world there were GOOD Mamas an’ GOOD Papas out there—that’s a lesson ta pass on!

Here’s granny passin’ it along! illustration by Hy Hintermesiter

So fer all the young parents out there, by all means ya may EVENTUALLY show yer kiddos The Wicked Witch of the West or Dracula—but DO start by introducin’ “GOOD GROWN-UPS” FIRST! BEFORE ya introduce the baddies. I say, let the children know there are good, lovely people in this always abundant world—includin’ Ma & Pa, of course! An’ fer all ya non-parents out there that have stuff ta share—BE that good grown-up an’ SHARE away too!

As we wrap-up my thoughts regardin’ how ESSENTIAL it is ta keep in mind & heart the GENERAL notion our Mamas are GOOD an’ that we need ta HONOR ‘EM (like the Big Ten tell us !) AND pass this along to all younger generations, we come to one BIZARRE trend today (I’ll touch upon it briefly):

DISTANCIN’ MOTHERS - a movement!

Where LEAVIN’ yer Ma behind, and I don’t mean just growin’ up an’ moving away an’ keepin’ in touch Hallmark & Ma Bell style, but outright REJECTIN’ MAMA is becomin’ normalized…

When Mama is a tree…

from “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein

In one of the children’s stories that our fambly holds dear, “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein, a “boy” keeps on takin’ an’ takin’ from his mother who is a tree (he takes her leaves, branches, trunk, etc), not outright dismissin’ her forever, but leavin’ her feelin’ unloved, near-rejected, fer years at a time—imposin’ a distance that hurts her deeply—an’ returnin’ only to take and take never give—literally woundin’ her in way felt through her every vein, her entire being. She is literally the GIVING TREE.

Children DO leave home an’ go on ta start their own famblies—that’s normal—but abandonin’ yer Mother—nope, that’s not normal, not typical unless ya gotta good reason fer it, an’ this not OK an’ modern society should not be promotin’ it. It’s anti-human if ya think about it…

Now…what happens in this poignant story is just a taste of the tsumami many MAMAS & PAPAS are gettin’ hit with when new generations of kids are bein’ TAUGHT to dump their famblies at the drop of a hat… or leaf!

I mention “The Giving Tree” as I believe the feelin’ is nearly the same. GRIEF. Abandoment. Oft unspoken. Oft devastatin’!

All the modern-times mothers cast aside at the advice of “expurts” (shrinks, gender-bender social workers, teachers too…) via this horrific agenda are a lot like our dear Mama Giving Tree —lovin’ parents who, like her, love to give to their child even if it means a sacrifice—askin’ SO little in return. GOOD MOTHERs (an’ Fathers). The hurt is not only done ta the child who doesn’t have a clue what he or she is missin’—it also is a harsh blow to MOTHERHOOD. The “boy” in the story does not “Remember Mama”—in spite of her goodness; he’s kina of a jerk; he does not show the grattytude or, as an adult, the simple signs of love we’d expect. In a way, the “child” in the story is far more “modern” then we’d like ta think! So Mama Tree, she’ll take what she can get… and fer her, that’s enough, it must be, it’s her “happy.” BUT. NOT. REALLY.

if only runnin’ away from home today were this adorable… and this improbable!

Runnin’ away…

Did y’all know that there’s a movement in social work an’ education & PSY-chia-tree that when young folks turn “TRANS” or change genders they are actually ADVISED ta cut loose from both their Mama’s an’ their Papa’s if they detect ANYTHING less than full out support an’ enthusiam?! Yes to DUMP their GOOD parents an’ their GOOD famblies with nary a care. Imagine.

They’re told that IF anyone of their fambly won’t immediately wreck-og-nize an’ cheer on their new gender, they need ta CUT THEM OFF (just like their body parts).

Many a 21st Century parent has suffered the heart-wrenchin’ rejection (usually permanent!) of their child via this enforced distancin’—if they dare speak truth or try ta be good parents an’ shield their children (even adult children here!) from harm. It’s all so WRONG.

From all I’ve read it’s a literal three strikes yer out “game regulation” too… I mean grifter-“shrinks” (for this IS a huge grift y’all) are tellin’ these young’uns to pack their bags an’ LEAVE HOME (even if they’re still minors!) if their parents don’t support ‘em. An’ godferbid if yer a parent that uses their “dead name” cuz that’s an INSTANT oust. This is pure EVIL.

she packed her bags, left a note…

Livin’ on the dole in some halfway house fer trannies—their new “sisters an’ brothers”—ain’t livin’ in a REAL home with a REAL fambly. But these young’uns don’t know that yet—an’ to turn back means FULL REJECTION of their new “fakeroo” “ally” famblies.

This is like takin’ a machete to these parents, siblings too! and of course to the MOTHERS who gave birth to ‘em——really the trend is not just about not REMEMBERIN’ MAMA but instead DIS-MEMBERIN’ MAMA (yeah, that’s a moovie too)… Like Mama Giving Tree, this means symbolically cuttin’ off her limbs— not just carelessly but it seems to be “in spite”…leavin’ her wounded an’ in many instances fully traumatized. THIS is what these NEW kids with their NEW IDENTITIES are bein’ GROOMED ta do. It’s WORSE than a horror movie cuz it’s REAL.

“Goin’ the Distance…”

So goin’ splitsville from yer real fambly is a genuine movement bein’ PUSHED upon SO many already confused an’ messed up young’uns — THIS instead of showin’ ANY understandin’ WHY their lovin’ parents might be confused? resistant? wantin’ their kids ta keep their dang giblets?! An’ what are these “reborn” humans left with? Their fair-weather “inner-NET friends”?—their TikTok pals? (who’ll be gone in a heartbeat if these young’uns wanna “turn back.”)

All this is more reason to champion the importance of MOTHERS:

REMEMBERIN’ “Mama” should be a MOVEMENT now…

illustration by Barbara Cooney

Wuther generations are bein’ groomed ta diminish the ROLE mothers had, wuther they’ve been DEPRIVED of all the past images, books, movies about GOOD parents an’ GOOD MOTHERS in particular—or whuther they have been misinformed that it’s HEALTHY (healthy?!) to just reject / distance yerself from your whole fambly an’ FORGET you ever had a Mama!
THESE folks all need ta “Remember Mama.”

it’s mother daughter ballet time!

I’m one’a the wistful adult children, a member of a group of the covidian-CON-bereft, who have literally or essentially (as is my case) LOST our mothers ta the dastardly “plandemic protyculls.” There are MANY of us now. We are UNHEARD (mostly). This LOSS is indeed profound and is just the edge of the far bigger map on which cartographers are no longer includin’ mothers in the geography….

Thus, it’s my opinion, in writin’ this piece that I now see clearly that this must be a bigger, larger effort to UPHOLD the image(s) of the GOOD MOTHER (an’ the Good Gran’Ma too). And indeedy, that’s why I’m doin’ my durdest ta share some’a these fine images right here in this “stack!”

Haddon Sundblom - mother comfortin’ a teen daughter

Folks, we are ALL under siege!

And as ya know, once “they” destroy the image of Mamas—they kin literally destroy the human too—the human in us all! Cuz if “they” win, then MOTHERS will not MATTER.

If “they” win, Mothers will cease to have an important role and will be ERASED. And nobuddy will give a hoot!

And too, once you make someone the baddie or the enemy—it’s easy to not care if they are hurt, harmed or “made dead”—a very old story indeed but never before applied to the entire human race!

Interestin’ poster! Durin’ the post war years there was a social conflict; mamas that worked when their husbands were away at war were WANTED wanted bac at home AND yet also in the workplace… And yet, here the daughter’s depicted havin’ a lovely connection with her Mama—even dressin’ like ‘er! Today, it seems nobuddy wants “us” Mothers at all… how times have indeed changed!

HONORIN’ an’ KEEPING an’ image of GOOD MOTHERS & GRAN’MAS—goes a long way ta keepin’ ‘em HEALTHY—redeem their now bleagered reputations an’ their bodies too seem a LOT more WORTH savin’; that part goes out to the callous “professionals” an’ “experts” that thought so little of the parents AND gran’parents that they were able to engage in casual, medi-cull MATRICIDE! (Yeah, it’s true—again, it’s not only my ma we lost “in mind” but we actually lost two more dear ones in NY Nursin’ Homes…literally died from the proty-culls).

SAVIN’ MAMA now must be a universal effort; pass it down, pass it along!

GOD BLESS ALL THE MAMAs! And the GRAN’MA’s
the Papa’s too! but fer today…

I’m rememberin’ MAMA!

“Mama“ was a popular an’ highly acclamied TV series adapted from the play an’ story of “I Remember Mama” (starin’ Peggy Wood per above)

⭐ An’ YOU should too! ⭐

So now it’s time fer a tune! from a fella that LOVED his MAMA deeply—an’ wuz always a good son ta her! (Daisy’s got nuttin’ but 💕 for The King!)

Da wrap up!

Our current CULTURE doesn’t show us Mamas like they used to do—not in children’s books, not on teevee, not anywhere—AND it encourages kids ‘n teens to disrespect, dismiss, or even DUMP their real ones! (our importance minimized)—an’ that’s not just a CRIME, it’s by DESIGN!

And yet… it’s our blessed MOTHERS who have ALWAYS been the most understandin’, compassionate, the one’s that’ll listen, that’ll stand by ya thru THICK & THIN!

So ta wrap up an’ wind down this postin’ ‘bout the IMAGE of Mamas — GOOD MAMAs! (an’ keepin’ that image alive) I share here-below, a lovely “trad” tune ‘bout a Mama that goes ta visit her boy in prison. She brings no gift, no hope fer parole, just her smile on her face an’ the love in her heart—no matter what. Because a mother’s job is to be always there, always the “giving tree” of LIFE! and LOVE!

• We cain’t let them MotherWEFFERS take’er away from us!

Penned by Linda Ronstadt with Dolly an’ Emmylou joinin’ her—sum’ talent, eh?!

And ta sum up THIS LESSON—yes, we gotta all teach out children well—an’ teach them to HONOR their Mamas an’ their Gran’Mamas too!

♥️♥️♥️ with love out ta y’all an’ blessin’s to yer own Mamas an’ grannies from this Crackpotty Mama ,
