I have so much respect for the show and writers for showing us what it's really like to be a mother. Raising kids is the hardest thing you can ever do, and I'm sick to death of television and film making it look like a day at Disneyland. I don't know any mother who hasn't had that moment where she seriously considered dropping those kids off at the fire station. It was very brave of them to show Lydia struggle with the realities of being a mom. It made me love her even more. As a side note, I don't care what any of those online polls say, she is clearly the biggest badass on tv, (sorry Dean).

I may have a small shrine to the beautiful and talented Regina King in the closet. Whose a creepy fan now.
