TheWrap appears at dysfunctional mothers in honor of Mother’s Day, from Norma Bates in “Psycho” to Peg Bundy in “Married With Children” and “Serial Mom.”

“Psycho” (1960)  Possibly the worst mom in Hollywood historical past (and now on A&E with “Bates Motel”), Norma Bates was so abusive she it resulted in her homicide — and people of subsequent harmless victims — by the hands of her son, Norman.

“Carrie” (1976)   After emotionally and bodily abusing her daughter for years, Mrs. White (Piper Laurie) tried to kill Carrie when she believed a demon was the explanation her daughter had psychic powers.

“Married… With Children” (1987-97)   Peggy Bundy is not imply, she’s simply lazy and inattentive, refusing to prepare dinner or clear and as an alternative spending her time sat on the sofa watching “Oprah.”

“Seinfeld” (1989-98)  After watching Mrs. Costanza (Estelle Harris) for less than 5 minutes, you fully perceive how George may develop into the needy, neurotic particular person we knew and liked for 9 seasons.

“The Sopranos” (1999-2007)  A paranoid nightmare, Livia Soprano (Nancy Marchand) tried to have her mob boss son, Tony Soprano, killed when she thought he was too weak to steer.
