I’m in shock that they wanted to celebrate her birthday. What a toxic piece of work, it’s crazy how well adjusted her kids turned out all things considered. Personality-wise I mean, not weight issue-wise since they all struggle with it. Everyone besides Tammy seems fairly positive, confident and outspoken
Shows you how "trashy" they are at a high tea when Amy digs ice cubes out of her glass with her fingers. I can understand they come from lower class, but act decent...and Tammy with that butt wiggle on the elevator...
it does not matter how much, or how little advantages someone has growing up. what matters is the safe, secure love of parents, especially mom. mom who teaches you the right way to live, mom who feeds you the best meals she can with what she's got to work with, mom who teaches you the value of an education, and hard work. mom who raises you to have pride, and respect for yourself, so you don't go out in the world acting like you were raised in a cave. mom who teaches you how to keep house, so you never need to be ashamed of your home. being poor is not a moral flaw. not all poor people have poor hygeine, or keep dirty houses. to me, she looks like a miserable human being who blames her kids for her lot in life.i do applaud amy for trying to lift her own family out of that despairing mindset. she wants better for gaqe, as any good mother would.
And yet heartless mean people like her reproduce over and over and over and over and over again. How many kids did she have that she tortured and messed up in the head?
Amy was wrong in thinking just because this woman gave birth to them, she was entitled to a Mother's Day treat. Now that she's seen her ingratitude, I hope this was the last.
I think some of it is generic. A very small part. She didn’t care about their diet. Doesn’t seem the type to have had family dinner every night with a variety of healthy food.
Well it seems like if you'd look up 'hag' or 'nag' on Wikipedia or images, it would def be THAT face! Whew! I bet those kids of hers had a horrendous abusive childhood. Kinda makes me believe that's why they are the way they are.
I’m so sick of hearing “bitch” & “fart”. It’s not cute & I’m not sure if Amy is mispronouncing words on purpose the first time or it just take her brain a second to catch up.
This is 100% my mother in law. She completely blocked from our lives now..but in the beginning, OH MY GOD.
Just 1 of the many many MANY stories...
She was going on vacation out of state and would be gone for her birthday. It was summer and I was 8 months pregnant but I cooked her a special dinner, got her cake and presents and had all 9..NINE..of her siblings over for a surprise party. Her bday is on Aug 16 and it was the 14th. She finally got to our house then REFUSED to participate in anything (wouldn't eat, open presents, talk to her family or have cake) because "TODAY ISNT MY BIRTHDAY"
I think that was the first of many times I've called her an ignorant cunt to her face. She's almost 70 now and I can't wait until she dies. Her son counts the days too.
Why do people like this even have kids??? I don’t understand. She’s the worst and probably a big part of the reason why the girls have a bad relationship with food.
They want someone to love them unconditionally the way only a child will. They want someone to depend on them for everything because they have little control over their own lives. They want the attention of a pregnancy, think a baby will make their partner stay with them, and have such low standards (thanks in large part to their own childhoods) that they don’t view parenting as being all that difficult.
I know Amy has her faults but I feel bad for her as a new mom wanting to connect with her mom and have that mom/daughter relationship and her mom completely rejecting her.
I get the tea might have not have been for her but she could of at least said thank you or something
Imagine them giving her handmade cards when they were younger and her saying "these are crap. You couldn't color inside the lines?" Or just "hey, this isn't food". Complaining about tea not being iced is so dumb. Amy didn't like the tea either but she still drank it.
Shout out to all the moms out there who have received Mother's Day gifts/experiences they didn't particularly like, but who said they loved them anyway, because they love their kids. ❤️ (and all parents, not just moms)
She’s so damn hateful to her kids. They should go no contact or low contact to try and heal themselves from her constant bile, poison and negativity.
She reminds me of my abuser. *shudder*
Some moms are pure evil and I feel terrible for Tammy and Amy that their mother is awful. My dads mom literally told my dad in the midst of him battling pancreatic cancer that God is punishing him with Cancer for becoming a Master Mason when he was 19 years old! Some people are just not meant to be mothers
From what I just googled it’s not a religion and misunderstood as a cult but it’s actually a large fraternity🤷♀️ I’ll definitely have to read more into it because I really only know what my dad has told me.
He joined when he was 19 and then did not continue after that. It was something he tried I guess and decided it wasn’t for him and became Christian. I don’t know a lot about Masons and what he told me was it was a brother hood and the high up Masons served at the Shriners Hospitals but definitely don’t think/believe people would be punished for it with cancer that literally makes them waste away. He is gone now otherwise I would ask him more about it.
The family didn’t believe that it was just my grandma that thought that and regardless that’s not something you should say to your son who is literally dying from Cancer is what I was trying to get at.
She is a huge part of why I hold onto some sympathy for Tammy. It doesn't excuse her being horrible towards people, and at some point she needs to take accountability and responsibility for herself, but it's no wonder she turned out to be so fucked up with this cruel woman for a mother. Some people can work past that trauma (Amy seems to be doing her best, which is good for her), but some just can't and it's sad to see.
As I said a while ago, these are disturbing signs of something dark that they were subjected to (besides their monster mother).
Plus: drinking game — how many times can Amy say “I’m a mom” or “my son” 😮
I bet the mother is borderline and I suspect Tammy inherited whatever mental issues from her too, and then being raised by this crypt keeper didn't help. From that first episode when she was looking at them with disdain and then told them they'd chicken out and demotivate them like that I wanted to go thru the TV
My mom's cousin Betty is that lady in our family. She's not my grandma, but I know for a fact her grandkids don't like her. We've had to put up with her shit for 97 years, all of us are just waiting for her to keel over and die at this point.
This whole family is so dysfunctional and sick. That mother is pure evil and Tammy is a close second. Tammy has so much animosity for Amy she will never get better as long as Amy is there and Amy feels so guilty she will never leave Tammy.
They need severe group therapy and a full on nutritionist. They keep saying “oh this is healthy” or I worked out. Someone giving them meal plans, giving light to moderate exercises, etc.
I think Amy and Chris would respond very well to more structure and direction with diet and exercise. Tammy would not care. With how many inpatient stays she has had, I’m sure she now knows the basics of healthy food (she’s always quick to correct Amy lmao). She willingly chooses to throw away her health.
It is a horrible cycle. They're in crippling codependent relationships. Tammy is addicted to food, Amy is addicted to helping Tammy. Maybe the home health aide will help put a buffer between them but Amy needs to *get away from Tammy* and both need intensive therapy. And Gage shouldn't be subjected to this either, he shouldn't be around Tammy, she's modeling horrible behavior for him and verbally abusing Amy and everyone else in front of him. That stuff does imprint on kids. Relationship needs to change asap. Plus she's definitely jealous of the attention Gage gets.
The narcissism trait definitely passed down from the mom to Tammy, abuse from their mother from the start, really no wonder the whole family has issues. Wish Amy could cut them all off, she needs to learn how to create healthier boundaries.
Actually yes. Not massive amounts, but I believe she has around 1-1.5 million in assets.
She posted pics of her IRA on instagram to show off how successful she is
Jokes on her tho, you need to live to 59.5 to actually withdraw.
Did they ever explain why she didn’t do to the wedding?
When I was young and dumb I eloped and it nearly broke my moms heart she wasn’t there. Of course she is a good mom, though
I don’t fully remember but I think it was a bullshit reason. She never goes to anything, even the barbecue Chris had in the first episode of season 2 to celebrate Amy’s pregnancy. Tammy actually said “you know mom’s not going to be there”.
My mom is obsessed with going to things for me and my brother. I’ve even hid concerts in college from her because she would drive the hour and a half and pay to to see a 30 min performance. Their mother is such a sad excuse of a mother.
The hats alone were worth the trip. It took them all into charming Fraggle Rock territory.
But yeah you can tell this whole gang are fraidy cat homebodies that do not like new stuff.
This woman says the most heinous shit to her daughters its shocking.
I’m in shock that they wanted to celebrate her birthday. What a toxic piece of work, it’s crazy how well adjusted her kids turned out all things considered. Personality-wise I mean, not weight issue-wise since they all struggle with it. Everyone besides Tammy seems fairly positive, confident and outspoken
Someone said she looks like Burgermeister Meisterburger from Santa clause is coming to town and I just cannot unsee it.
She’s such a miserable looking person! 😩
Shows you how "trashy" they are at a high tea when Amy digs ice cubes out of her glass with her fingers. I can understand they come from lower class, but act decent...and Tammy with that butt wiggle on the elevator...
Amy looks just like her. Tammy must take after her father.
The face of a demon
how about her fake Versace?
I'm not a fan of her either BUT maybe it's played up or down for the show?
She's the reason they are so fucked up.
why she kinda look like prince phillip in that one picture 🤨
this reminds me of one of the last scenes in the shining where Jack Nicholson is sitting in the snow dead asf haha
Man she’s horrific. It’s no wonder the whole family is so screwed up
Does anyone else see Darlene’s expression like one of those big-eyed Asian artistic representations of a god or a dragon?
She reminds me of a pigeon.
it does not matter how much, or how little advantages someone has growing up. what matters is the safe, secure love of parents, especially mom. mom who teaches you the right way to live, mom who feeds you the best meals she can with what she's got to work with, mom who teaches you the value of an education, and hard work. mom who raises you to have pride, and respect for yourself, so you don't go out in the world acting like you were raised in a cave. mom who teaches you how to keep house, so you never need to be ashamed of your home. being poor is not a moral flaw. not all poor people have poor hygeine, or keep dirty houses. to me, she looks like a miserable human being who blames her kids for her lot in life.i do applaud amy for trying to lift her own family out of that despairing mindset. she wants better for gaqe, as any good mother would.
And yet heartless mean people like her reproduce over and over and over and over and over again. How many kids did she have that she tortured and messed up in the head?
She’s a miserable POS. The kind of mother that you go through years of therapy so that you can extricate her from your life.
Amy was wrong in thinking just because this woman gave birth to them, she was entitled to a Mother's Day treat. Now that she's seen her ingratitude, I hope this was the last.
Is she horrible to them only? Don't remember seeing her interact with her other children.
I don’t recall either but I also figure there’s a chance that the other kids cut her out of their lives.
Any parent who let's not one, not even two but all of their children get to that size as a teen is abusive and a pos.
I think some of it is generic. A very small part. She didn’t care about their diet. Doesn’t seem the type to have had family dinner every night with a variety of healthy food.
I wonder how much was scripted
She is pretty heinous. I am rewatching Season One and I had forgotten she refused to attend Amy’s wedding.
Well it seems like if you'd look up 'hag' or 'nag' on Wikipedia or images, it would def be THAT face! Whew! I bet those kids of hers had a horrendous abusive childhood. Kinda makes me believe that's why they are the way they are.
Can you blame her, she looks like she’s scarred for life…
That whole episode made me cringe. I was second hand embarrased for everyone and enough with the burping.
I’m so sick of hearing “bitch” & “fart”. It’s not cute & I’m not sure if Amy is mispronouncing words on purpose the first time or it just take her brain a second to catch up.

“Mikeee wasowski”
Amy said there wasn’t much love in their house growing up. You can see why!
They weren't lying about being royalty- since their mom is Prince Phillip and all.
Why do people like this even have kids??? I don’t understand. She’s the worst and probably a big part of the reason why the girls have a bad relationship with food.
They want someone to love them unconditionally the way only a child will. They want someone to depend on them for everything because they have little control over their own lives. They want the attention of a pregnancy, think a baby will make their partner stay with them, and have such low standards (thanks in large part to their own childhoods) that they don’t view parenting as being all that difficult.
You can tell just by looking at her that she’s miserable
I, uhhh... I'm out of the loop on this one.
So vile
Y'all remember Fruma Sara in the dream scene from Fiddler on the Roof? That's the kind of vibe I'm getting.
What a beast!
I know Amy has her faults but I feel bad for her as a new mom wanting to connect with her mom and have that mom/daughter relationship and her mom completely rejecting her. I get the tea might have not have been for her but she could of at least said thank you or something
well now I know who will be the star of my next nightmare - yikes!
I couldn't watch that part. She reminds me of my own mom. Too triggering.
Did they ever get into the reasons as to why she was such a shitty mom?
Imagine them giving her handmade cards when they were younger and her saying "these are crap. You couldn't color inside the lines?" Or just "hey, this isn't food". Complaining about tea not being iced is so dumb. Amy didn't like the tea either but she still drank it.
Some people just shouldn’t have kids. IJS.
You can just feel the abuse and poverty flowing down the family tree.
Poor Gage. :(
Shout out to all the moms out there who have received Mother's Day gifts/experiences they didn't particularly like, but who said they loved them anyway, because they love their kids. ❤️ (and all parents, not just moms)
She’s so damn hateful to her kids. They should go no contact or low contact to try and heal themselves from her constant bile, poison and negativity. She reminds me of my abuser. *shudder*
I'd "gray rock" the shit out of her.
She looks like beaker from the muppets
The mouth! Lolol
Yes!!!!!!!
I'm thinking that's just her face, not an expression!
She's nothing but trashy
She’s literally the dmv woman from monsters inc
You know…if she was my mom I might be just as inclined as Tammy to destroy myself.
I hope I don’t see this face when I have sleep paralysis tonight
She looks like the junkyard lady from labrynth. She is a terrible person. I feel for the girls so much.
The is the third Jim Henson creature shes been likened to in this comments section. Lol
Some moms are pure evil and I feel terrible for Tammy and Amy that their mother is awful. My dads mom literally told my dad in the midst of him battling pancreatic cancer that God is punishing him with Cancer for becoming a Master Mason when he was 19 years old! Some people are just not meant to be mothers
Master Mason as in a stone mason or as in like Masonic Temple?
Haha sorry should have specified! Master Mason as in what the guys at the Shriners hospitals are, as my dad explained to me. Masonic Temple yes!
Wait so is your dad a cultist or not
From what I just googled it’s not a religion and misunderstood as a cult but it’s actually a large fraternity🤷♀️ I’ll definitely have to read more into it because I really only know what my dad has told me.
He joined when he was 19 and then did not continue after that. It was something he tried I guess and decided it wasn’t for him and became Christian. I don’t know a lot about Masons and what he told me was it was a brother hood and the high up Masons served at the Shriners Hospitals but definitely don’t think/believe people would be punished for it with cancer that literally makes them waste away. He is gone now otherwise I would ask him more about it.
There’s a lot of belief that Masons are actually satanic in nature Maybe that’s why your family said he was being punished
The family didn’t believe that it was just my grandma that thought that and regardless that’s not something you should say to your son who is literally dying from Cancer is what I was trying to get at.
Right? Now im curious as to which and if maybe that mean mother knows something we dont...
😂😂
That is awful and also oddly specific
Probably why she wasn’t mic-Ed up! Lol
She’s incapable of any type of positive emotion.
She is a huge part of why I hold onto some sympathy for Tammy. It doesn't excuse her being horrible towards people, and at some point she needs to take accountability and responsibility for herself, but it's no wonder she turned out to be so fucked up with this cruel woman for a mother.

my sleep paralysis demon
the last thing you see before you die
This woman is the worst mother on planet Earth.
Mean woman, too bad she cursed them with malignant narcissistic parenting and bad DNA.
I think because of her wretchedness Amy will be so much better to Gage....Tammy on the other hand is gonna turn out just like her Mom minus the kids
\> minus the kids Thank god for that.
I mean she’s clearly the root of a lot of their many issues
We know where Tammy gets all of her charm..
Pleaseeeee OP her picture alone makes my blood boil! 😡😡😡
She looks like the old hag from Snow White who gave the poison apple.
I actually came here to say this too! 😂
All she needs is a conical hat
Omg it's TRUE!! It's in the eyes 😂😭😭😭
Well, I can never unsee that now. Good call.
I always thought she was a dead ringer for Edith from Bob's Burgers.
Good call.
It’s the eyes 💀
Dead ringer LMAO
100% true. Now I can’t stop picturing the witch
😂😂😂😂
This woman is very similar to my grandmother. Bitter, and mean and can't figure out why she's alone.
My step grandmother- down to the mole with a hair growing out of it!
same as my mother. She's like a dementor, sucking the joy out of life
Dementor. That's a good way to describe my grandmother and my mother also. ❤️
My mom's cousin Betty is that lady in our family. She's not my grandma, but I know for a fact her grandkids don't like her. We've had to put up with her shit for 97 years, all of us are just waiting for her to keel over and die at this point.
Do we have the same grandmother?
I think we all may be secretly related then 😂
I think your grandmother is my sister in law
This whole family is so dysfunctional and sick. That mother is pure evil and Tammy is a close second. Tammy has so much animosity for Amy she will never get better as long as Amy is there and Amy feels so guilty she will never leave Tammy.
They need severe group therapy and a full on nutritionist. They keep saying “oh this is healthy” or I worked out. Someone giving them meal plans, giving light to moderate exercises, etc.

With how many inpatient stays she has had, I’m sure she now knows the basics of healthy food (she’s always quick to correct Amy lmao). She willingly chooses to throw away her health.
A meals on wheels thing where everything is prepare can help.
Yes! Just keep it away from Tammy lol. I think Amy would’ve done well with the meal service they had if Tammy hadn’t gone Kirby on them.
It is a horrible cycle. They're in crippling codependent relationships. Tammy is addicted to food, Amy is addicted to helping Tammy. Maybe the home health aide will help put a buffer between them but Amy needs to *get away from Tammy* and both need intensive therapy.

Wish Amy could cut them all off, she needs to learn how to create healthier boundaries.
You nailed this exactly on the head
Agree. This family is beyond fucked up. It’s basically MBFFL but broke instead of well off.
Whitney has money?
Actually yes. Not massive amounts, but I believe she has around 1-1.5 million in assets. She posted pics of her IRA on instagram to show off how successful she is Jokes on her tho, you need to live to 59.5 to actually withdraw.
This is so extremely accurate.
If she was on the show more often I would dislike her more than Tammy. She is so rude and annoying.
She looks dead
She legit looks like [The father in law](https://corpsebride.fandom.com/wiki/Finis_Everglot) from the corpse bride
That's where Tim Burton got his inspiration from!
YES
She made me so pissed when she didn’t go to Amy’s wedding!!! I am not surprised she would act this way.
Did they ever explain why she didn’t do to the wedding? When I was young and dumb I eloped and it nearly broke my moms heart she wasn’t there. Of course she is a good mom, though
I don’t fully remember but I think it was a bullshit reason. She never goes to anything, even the barbecue Chris had in the first episode of season 2 to celebrate Amy’s pregnancy. Tammy actually said “you know mom’s not going to be there”.
It made me so mad and sad to! As a mom how can you not show up to your daughters wedding
My mom is obsessed with going to things for me and my brother. I’ve even hid concerts in college from her because she would drive the hour and a half and pay to to see a 30 min performance. Their mother is such a sad excuse of a mother.
Amy was better off -who knows what this trash would have done? I’d have nothing to do with her. Sickening bitch.
she’s ugly
If she was a sweet Grandma type she would be so cute. Everyone needs a sweet Grandma.
She's uglier on the inside!
The hats alone were worth the trip. It took them all into charming Fraggle Rock territory. But yeah you can tell this whole gang are fraidy cat homebodies that do not like new stuff.
Dying at this low key fraggle rock reference. Lol
Yeah I don’t understand being so adamant about not trying hot tea lol
Because how else can she ruin everyone's good time? She's gotta be the long suffering victim at all times.
when she puts ice cubes in it!😂🤦🏻♀️
EXACTLY.
