The Mother Got On My Nerves


Jeezus, what a whiner.

I hate these women with Martyr Complexes.

Is THAT what happens when women have no lives except their kids and once the kids grow up, they turn into children themselves?

Enlighten me - I have worked since I was 17 even with two kids.

I have seen several Billie Burker movies, She's annoying in all of them (even Wizard of Oz). I think it's that irritating voice.

I loved Billie Burke in this. Her performance was amazing. It was really nice to see her do drama, since she's usually the comic relief in pretty much everything she was in.

The mother grated on me as well, a martyr in denial, lovely combination!
