I think Lucille from Arrested Development is one of my favourite TV mothers because any mother will look good next to her. There are not many scenes of her on the internet, but if you've not seen the series I'm sure you could easily find a friend with a copy you can borrow. And with the movie rumoured to be in the works now is the best time to invest in learning some of Lucille's unique parenting skills.

When I thought of the card her children (not including Buster) would give her I thought this one below fitted the bill. I can't imagine her ever actually cooking a meal so they might buy this one to make her feel a little guilty. Although if you watch the hot ham water that Lindsay cooks it doesn't look like the apple fell far from the tree.
