More like too supportive. Would YOU encourage your OWN child to make others uncomfortable with their creepy antics and do dangerous stuff.

[@josephsharp6221]

@@davidwallgren7575A good parent needs to support what makes their children who they are, not to mention she was fine taking care of 5 demons along with her daughter when they went to the human realm, was more than supportive when Luz came out to her, and even joined the crew when they returned to the isles to ensure Luz was safe once she realized exactly how dangerous Belos was

It's always such a shame when footage of Nicole from The Amazing World of Gumball is always from the first 2 seasons where she's barely been fleshed out yet. They missed a golden opportunity to show footage of her sheer anger from "The Castle" or "The Fury" (or anything else from Seasons 3 to 6) for this video.

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! In the Simpsons, Mr.Burns also had a mom living in a normal house. I thought that was odd, because she didn't look like a wealthy person. It looked like she raised her son to become a successful billionaire, but refused to live the materialistic life.

The part where you said there are moments where Rita didn't always get things right, while few, HAVE raised some concerns in my mind about her parenting skills.

[@bullmonty764]

Personally I was sold on Della the moment she sang her lullaby. Her first couple of appearances were a little rough imo, like they were still trying to figure out who she really is as a character. However, I was not prepared for the utter beauty of her singing voice - a level of beauty Disney has seemed to actively discourage over the last 15 years. As such, by the time the song was over, I was ready to go. She’s been one of my favorite characters ever since

[@olvialee7221]

293: I am SOOOOOOOOOOO sorry but I can’t keep my laughter in ever since I found out about Nicole’s first name. That aside Nicole Watterson is a devoted mother. She might have anger issues but she loves her family very much. She’s completely different than Lois Griffin
