Every Mothers Day magazines and tv specials and such have a Who Was The Best TV Mom contest and almost every time Mrs, Brady wins!! Now I LOVE The Brady Bunch but I must say the woman does not deserve the honor!She was a stay-at-home mom with a maid for Petes sake!!!!I love when they show her sitting on the sofa crocheting or reading!Bull!With six kids in the house the woman would be helping someone with thier homework/science project/hemming/sewing/driving someone to dance lessons etc. I know because I have ONE kid and I never get a moment to sit!
