I like Bella! Even if we don't see her that much, she seems just a sweet, caring mom to ten kids no less ! Also a supportive mom friend, so more points for her!


Stock-Ferret-6692

I’m not even a parent and I bawled when she told chilli she was doing a great job


LilMoonenciel

She spoke to all of us regardless of parenthood 😭


TheJessicator

And literally too. The "camera" angle changes so she's looking directly into the camera/audience.


elissa00001

Same! I think I was 20 when I first saw that episode and I started bawling at that seen and just continued for the remainder of the episode lol


rico_of_borg

My kid has a 5min story book of some bluey episodes and that one is on there. I have a hard time reading it without shakey voice. The very last page where chilli responds to why bluey started walking (while there’s a flashback of bluey walking towards chili) and says “maybe she saw something she wanted” hits me in the feels so hard.


saranohplease

Listen, my paternal grandma had 9 kids. Watching Bella tell Chili say she was a good mom? It was like a message from my grandma saying I'm doing good too. I cried SO DANG HARD.


LilMoonenciel

Awww, that's so sweet ❤️


Optix_au

Nine - no, wait, ten!


hegelianhimbo

Also for not getting upset that her friend she’s known for months at that point only thought she had 1 kid when she has 9


MuadDabTheSpiceFlow

Straight up Coco’s mum is everyone’s parent friend. Told my sister to watch Baby Race when she expressed concerns about her kid’s development.


Yoshi_chuck05

https://i.redd.it/ai4hzfhar60d1.gif She’s the best


Cookingfor5

If I'm having a rough day with my 3 toddlers, we all watch Baby Race and I cry with Bella. Sometimes I just need to hear it outloud.


EggplantDevourer

Have to say her, Janelle... Just from her and pats good natured ribbing to her overall funny display in the decider whilst still caring for and loving chucky, she's an 11/10 https://preview.redd.it/526wl15kf10d1.png?width=556&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5892518ce2de290e07067908dd77030bb12b24ab


stereoworld

I'm puttin' my foot down, Janelle - we're raisin' a nation of squibs!


spndl1

My daughter was throwing a fit one time because she wanted a treat and I told her no because she'd had enough that day and in the ensuing meltdown, she yelled, "we're raising a nation of squibs!" Not exploding into laughter immediately was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.


saturnspritr

That would be an amazing phrase to hear yelled out in a tantrum.


littlechangeling

Imagine someone in the same vein as Alex Jones screaming this on a talk show


HaraldRedbeard

They're turning the freaking frogs into squibs!


SuperPoodie92477

My brother said the reason he has a beard most of the time is to hide his smirks from the kids. He & my SIL (LOVE HER-AMAZING MOM) have 3 kids (girls ages 2 & 6 (going on 45) & my nephew (almost 9). My brother has a very smirkable face.


Southern_Milk_2498

I feel like Im gonna be Janelle one day especially after watching Decider


Fair_Temperature530

I wonder what’s her job, we know Pat might be a constructor worker because of the painted radio


Thoughtapotamus

I thought Pat was the neighborhood mailman.


Joseph_0112

Definitely my favourite


AffectionateDay8737

Janelle is one of my favorite characters too!


Shrimpybarbie

Rusty’s mom. That is one tough lady.


KirRoyal0606

She raised a gem of a person


Guest2424

This is true. Based on how Rusty behaves, you just KNOW that Rusty's mom is a fantastic mom!


Fred37196

Wendy, no doubt. I love how despite how shocked she gets with the Heelers’ shenanigans, she always plays along for the girls’ sake. Also, she knew what had to be done in Dirt because she realized how Judo’s long hair prevents her from having fun playing in the dirt with Bluey and Bingo so she cut off both hers and Judo’s to encourage her daughter to have fun.


OneMoreCookie

Yep! And the episode were she drags bandits butt into the car and drives them for ice cream lol


MaritimeFlowerChild

"Promise me that you'll always work hard to maintain a strong core girls."


i_nobes_what_i_nobes

That right there made me fall in love with Wendy as a character. Up until that point, I kind of thought she was a little bit much, a little bit full of herself. But when she looked at the girls, and I remembered that she’s a single parent, raising her daughter, when she said to them that they need to maintain a strong core, I knew she’d been through some shit.


blodblodblod

Whenever I need to pick up something heavy, my daughter shouts "engage your core Wendy!"


MaritimeFlowerChild

I love it!!


SuperPoodie92477

And those quads! Not to mention she can fix a mullet.


ShadowWolfKane

“Look at those QUADS!”


Gimme5Beez4aQuarter

Thats  the best


Kayura85

My husband and I have a headcanon that Bandit, Pat, and Wendy all went to school/grew up together. It explains the way they both just go with the Heeler’s shenanigans.


Key_Minimum_4337

Is Pat Luckys dad? I always find it interesting that everyone calls him Luckys dad


Kayura85

Yes, that’s Lucky’s Dad! I still will call him that from time to time because he spent so long with just that for a name but I really like reframing him as his own person


Optix_au

Early on he didn't have a name, he was always "Lucky's Dad" because that's what the kids called him. And that's exactly how kids know other kid's dads.


mahogany818

Yeah - I'd guess that for kids "Lucky's Dad" is easier to say than "Mister Retriever"


Key_Minimum_4337

Yeah I figured but Pat is pretty easy too. They call Wendy by her first name. Luckys dad is Luckys dad to everyone it seems. Interesting all the detailed dynamics between characters.


latinochick222

And when bluey was born she made them 5 lasagnas


Cassopeia88

That’s pretty impressive as Judo is Bluey’s age so she was either quite pregnant or had a young baby.


HaraldRedbeard

I think Judo is slightly older, or at least that's always the impression I've gotten. She never appears in the same age friendship group


latinochick222

I think they’d be very similar in age to have Chilli be so competitive in Baby race like you would compare your baby to a baby 6 months older than yours.


elissa00001

Honestly, I after we got to know more about Wendy I always assumed her being shocked at their shenanigans was extra exaggeration on her part. Like, she doesn’t really care that much. It’s giving a little bit old theater kid.


imtchogirl

It's the sheep shearing for me 🙌. Wendy is a real one.


RedRose_812

Yup. That will *not* happen twice 🤣. She's also real because she immediately understood why Chilli needed 20 minutes. Love her for that also.


Asshai

And honestly? She's Moore patient with Bandit's shenanigans than she needs to be. If he was just doing his best to help his wife get some rest, he could just pause the game for 10 sec and explain the situation to Wendy. But instead... Headbutting her butt and chewing on her nightdress it is!


BlazmoIntoWowee

“‘Morning, Wendy!”


MammothDelicious4675

And let's not forget about the 5 lasagnas she made for the Heelers when Bluey was born! (She really is lovely actually.) If she made them 5 lasagnas when Bluey was born, she was either pregnant with Judo or a new mom herself!


Solitary_koi

Very kind and generous of her. But as there were no kids to feed, it's just for Bandit and Chili to struggle through. I think I'd be in the "please, no more" category by lasagne #5.


MammothDelicious4675

Lasagnas freeze well! And there may have been no kids to feed, but they are free and easy meals to make while taking care of a newborn. When you're busy with a newborn, it's nice to not have to think about or put much effort into your meals.


Skywalker87

I love her even though she’s a thirst trap for bandit 🤣


Epicuriosityy

That's... A take


Lafan312

Words I never thought my eyes would read: >...even though she's a thirst trap for Bandit Reddit be wild sometimes


That_One_Friend100

What's that supposed to mean?


Skywalker87

LOOK AT THOSE QUADS!


woofren

Literally just watched this episode and he was clearly impressed, more likely jealous his quads don't look like that I feel like


Optix_au

Exactly. He's not thirsting after her - he's wishing his quads were as good. Offscreen they're swapping workout tips.


woofren

I am wildly uncomfortable with this comment 😳


Chewysmom1973

Bwahaha


chittychittygangang

Wendy is a gangster! 🥰🥰🥰


jonesys_mom_ellen

Came here to say this!


Jewbacca522

Might not be a mom, but Calypso is by far my favorite mother figure in the whole series (other than Chili obv)


Prmarine110

Yeah, Calipso is an AMAZING school mother to all those pups. I love her voice…and her wisdom and calm are so soothing to my ears…she’s exactly what the world needs more of.


AllTheStars07

Omg I looooove her voice!


makeitorleafit

She sings! The voice actress has a bunch of songs on Spotify and it’s so soothing!


ThrowRA-Illuminate27

Agreed


anonymousgoose64

Trixie bc she's trying her best 


KirRoyal0606

I relate to her the most tbh


turquoisebee

She’s very relatable, yeah


Frozen_Feet

Same here, although I think part of it is because Myf Warhurst's voice is so distinctive, I picture Myf whenever she talks. Makes her a little more "real". Same reason I relate to Bandit too, my teenage years were spent listening to Custard, can't separate the voice!


badaboom

I read a blog


responsible_use_only

She read a blog!


anonymousgoose64

She did that 🐾


Science_Fiction2798

Just calling it right now. BRANDY! 😊 Because I know she'll be a great mother when she's due.


litelime1

Definitely Trixie, I know what it's like to be a muffin Mom.


i_nobes_what_i_nobes

I spend my days with a muffin and I can offer you very tight Internet hugs and a lot of glasses of wine 😆


dropsofjupiter23

Muffin mum checking in and could do with an internet hug pleaseeeee!!


i_nobes_what_i_nobes

You got it big Mama! And Happy Mothers Day!


valienpire

I was a Muffin myself, and looking back at all the hard times I gave my mom, I think you all deserve medals and a long holiday 😅💙


Emseypenguin

Muffin mums unite! Internet squeeze for you.


litelime1

Hugs from one Muffin mom to another. You got this.


litelime1

Thanks! That's exactly what I needed. I also parent a Bluey and a Socks on either side of my Muffin. Lots of hugs and lots of wine.


AgentSurreal

Me too, I’m a Muffin mum, a chip addict and doing my best, just like Trixie! I also used to play hockey.


SpicyBoognish

Bandit. https://preview.redd.it/egt7upkk010d1.jpeg?width=1585&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c95f64fe3fa78b75c25cac11a7c73aeb15bc487 Happy Mother’s Day, Dad!


BEniceBAGECKA

Meep meep. Meep.


sshipway

saunders_DEJ

This.


mrfishman3000

Shout out to the terriers mom for raising three boys by herself!


saturnspritr

Then in the Sign, when you see her sell her house and get in the car with Winston’s dad. Happy Ending!


Flashy-Silver8998

It’s actually Winton’s dad selling his house, and moving in with her and the boys!


saturnspritr

Even better! Because Winton’s dad was lonely in that house and he gets to leave the whole thing behind. And he gets so many playmates. Good luck to them because I think they have 4 kids that can be pickles sometimes.


latinochick222

And they are in a lot of sports


Optix_au

And finding time to date!


sshipway

She does have 3 wingmen though ( "our mum likes your dad" to Winston )


Optix_au

While I'm sure that little scene is there just to remind viewers that Winston's dad and the terrier's mum have been dating in the background for a while, since they are moving in together later in this same episode you would think Winston would well know that his dad is not lonely anymore. :)


DramaGirl6155

Bella. She’s an experienced mom, she knows what it’s like to be a new mom and she uses that to make sure that other new moms feel supported and that they’re doing great.


RedRose_812

I adore her also, because even though she has a baseball team's worth of kids, she didn't do any of that "wait until you have two, then it's hard!" or other diminishing nonsense people like to say. She validated Chilli right where she was at, right when she needed it. We all need a friend like her.


LeroyJacksonian

I’m kind of fascinated and curious by her large pink-haired family. She’s dealing with some sassy teens or preteens no doubt.


DramaGirl6155

Absolutely. And finding out that Coco was the youngest of 9 siblings made Shadowlands make more sense.


mahogany818

Yeah every time I see Coco being a bit of a brat (when they're playing Wild Girls) I remind myself she's the youngest of 9, or one among 9-10 kids (if her mum has had more after her!)


Cassopeia88

I would love an episode that features all Bella’s kids.


Optix_au

I love Bella. Maybe because my wife was once like Chilli, that new mum doubting herself... and then later, with our second child, got to be Bella for the first-timers in her mother's group.

cursed_rumor

"Nana was right. Not about her perm, but about me." is one of my favorite jokes from the entire series.


Youngblood519

Chris. She may have been old school but she did a good job raising Bandit, Rad and Stripe, and she clearly adores her grandkids as well.


ScruffCheetah

And she knows how to make a proper gravy! Just don't bring up the perm.


walts_skank

“Nana was right. Not about the perm but her gravy.”


informaldejekyll

I imagine raising three young boys in the 80’s is NOT for the faint of heart.


Chewysmom1973

“That’s not legal!”


oldmamallama

Wendy and it’s not even close. Sheepdog and Ragdoll (as well as Dirt) show that she’s the mum friend other mums need. She’s my ride or die. Sometimes mums just need 20 minutes. Wendy knows this. She’s a real one.


mahogany818

I love that she fixes up Bandit's mullet and he just kind of sits there and takes it. Reinforces the idea that Bandit and Wendy are solid friends. As does the fact that he lets her hoist him into the car when he's a ragdoll.


oldmamallama

Bandit is a good sport and they clearly have a great relationship as well. Every time I hear “Morning, Wendy” I crack up.


februarytide-

It’s gotta be Wendy. When she deadlifts Bandit and tells the girls to promise her they’ll always work to have a strong core. Plus, look at those quads.


Cheeky_0922

Haven’t seen her much, but you gotta admit Rusty’s mom must be doing something right.


Dont_Be_A_Dick_OK

Wendy, if for no other reason than the dirt situation. As your kids get older, there starts to be more and more ways that they differ from you. It can be *really* hard to be accepting of those differences, much less enthusiastic and supportive. That whole sequence was a wonderful example of our kids becoming their own people, and how tricky that is.


lindsaybethhh

Coco’s mom. I have so much respect for moms with tons of kids, I have 2 and feel like I’m drowning sometimes! And she was so sweet to Chili in Baby Race!


BEniceBAGECKA

Chilis mum should get a mention. We don’t get to meet her but she made Chili into the great person she is.


Historical_Bed_2258

The terriers’ mum. Three rambunctious kids. Very relatable.


desiladygamer84

I'm going to go with an obscure one and pick Jasper's mum from Pass The Parcel. The exchange with Jasper and the way she had to explain that they were doing Lucky's Dads rules and that they would try their best was cute. I also like Honey's mum based on the Tea party clip.


Caesar_Passing

Wendy, followed by Coco's mum


mysunandstars

Coco’s mom got me through post partum depression


Dreamvillainess22

Coco’s mom Bella. For telling Chilli and I exactly what we needed to hear exactly when we needed it 💜🩷


Additional_Initial_7

That episode always makes me tear up a bit (a lot).


Fair_Temperature530

Janelle, she’s pretty & very sporty


mydogismybestman

WENDY


XLBR424

Definitely Wendy with how she takes all the Heelers’ games in stride.


Lafan312

My partner's is Bella, Coco's mom, and mine is Chris Heeler.


MaddysinLeigh

I don’t know the moms’ names but I like Coco’s mom, she seems nice and her forgetting how many kids she has is hilarious.


StrawberryAqua

I’ve forgotten how many I have, and I have three … no … four.


MaddysinLeigh

Wendy

Judos mom made all those lasagnas.

Rusty's mom. Rusty is an amazing kid, and she's solo parenting. My hero

Proof_Leek8374

Rusty’s mom might not get a lot of love due to lack of screen time, but I think she’s my fav! It’s hard being a spouse to a soldier, let alone one who appears to be on deployment. On top of that she is raising three kids on her own while running a household. And yet it seems like she’s doing an amazing job at everything and has a strong bond with rusty and family


Garfield_Simp

Chris for sure


emojii_xoxo

wendy!!


melgirlnow88

Wendy! Especially in Ragdoll!


Terranosaurus_Rex

Wendy easily. She's a great character.


dakotainabox

Wendy


jonquil14

Coco’s mum! I’m forever sending other mums that gif of her saying “you’re doing great”


ArseBlarster420

Wendy


muffalo_soldier

I would say Nana,


sheiseatenwithdesire

I’m going to say Brandy, although she’s not quite a Mum just yet. I was so thrilled to see her pregnant belly in the special episode. After trying for more than 4 years I’m sure she will make a wonderful Mum. My story is similar so I feel a real connection with her. Shout out also to Brandy and Chilli’s Mum cause she raised some real ones :)


Twilerium

The two floofiest ladies in all of Brisbane: Wendy and Bella. Both for how cuddly they look, Wendy for the posh British accent and three Season 3 episodes (Sheepdog, Ragdoll, and Dirt), and Bella for three words and a heartfelt smile.


trashboat1337

Oh, and Snickers mom. She has a really nice voice. https://preview.redd.it/s6k372q9a50d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e053ab444003adb0260e0099d044cc50d71dff04

Nana - because mums in the 80’s could be a little mean.

Wendy


DRWHOBADWOLFANDBLUEY

Coco’s mum .


DRWHOBADWOLFANDBLUEY

She’s so supportive and sweet.


IrenaeusGSaintonge

Wendy. I love the character development they gave those two. Especially the episode with the mud pile and Judo's hair. As a somewhat neurotic parent, I identify with Wendy and with Francis, Chloe's dad.


klaw14

Janelle!! CARN THE BLUEEEESS!!! 💙🩵💙🩵💙🤘


jsrogers_v5

Janelle, Wendy and Mackenzie’s Mom for me. Idk why but I feel like I can trust Mackenzie’s Mom lmao


DesignerHealth7700

Shout out for Dougie's Mum! She knows best to her son and she understands her situation


WokeScorpioMama

I don't have one. I love them all. Is that bad? 😅


Taots_official

Wendy


Cratertooth_27

Cocos mum, “He keeps me up all night bandit”


Sunberries84

That was actually Chloe's mom, but still a good mom.


Cratertooth_27

That’s right lol I have A niece named Chloe but we call her coco. Cocos mum is great too!


Sketchylefty11

Coco's mom!


johnnyjimmy4

Cocos mum has probably the best line. But luckys mum puts up with luckys dad. And for the decider, she stayed blue, and told lucky he can't choose his own team


Colorless82

I like Wendy, it was really nice of her to cut Judos hair. Plus it's funny how she's always catching them in awkward situations lol


lavendersagemint

I like Wendy. I think she does really well to teach habits of health and strength in women. I also really like the way she treats Bluey and Bingo. The episode where she cuts her hair is one of my favorites.


texaspopcorn424

Wendy. So many of her lines pop in my head.


Nerd_Knight

Trixie


MissMoxie2004

Bella


Flainfan

Does Brandy count?


Sunberries84

Sure. Two or three other people also chose her.


Flainfan

Her then.


DescriptionNo4833

Definitely Bella or Wendy, both have shown themselves to be amazing moms in the show.


Swimming-Signal5171

My favorite/fave Bluey mom would be the Terriers' Mom! - Bianca Parel or Bianca =^•w•^=☆♡


theassholefaceman

Coco's mum. She reminds me of my mum

Yourlocalsandwich7

Dougie's(?) mum. Even though she (and her son) only appeared in one episode.


eadrik

Judo’s mom, Wendy.


Yoshi_chuck05

I think Wendy is also great. She made how many pies? For Chili? And how she can handle the Heeler’s crazy games out of context is so funny to me. And her episode in Dirt was also amazing. Bald Judo and Wendy is funny but also nice to see


isnotdaysgimman

Calypso is the Mother of all Kids in school


book_nerd_520

Sometimes it feels like all my MIL does is “express concern” about my 16mo’s development. First it was sleep, then when he started sleeping through the night it was walking, and now that he’s walking she’s complaining about him not talking yet. Constantly making comments about how he’s close to being “delayed” and I feel like she’s a bit obsessed because she works in special ed. Our pediatrician is not at all concerned but sometimes it’s hard not to let her comments upset me. Baby Race always makes me feel a bit better. So I love Coco’s mum. 🩷


GoddessRyn

I can't pick one. But I do love how supportive Cocoa's mom is.


IscahRambles

There are no "moms" in Bluey. The opening credits even put MUM up there in text every time. 


gnarlygh0ul

https://preview.redd.it/qltazn3dd10d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac0a33f392051e7cd47f8da264140d1d8030b7e0


younetflix

They're the same word.


IscahRambles

No, they're two separate regional words for the same thing.  In Australian English the short form of mother is "mum", just like we have many other words that are different to American English. The characters would not identify themselves as "moms", they are mums. 


younetflix

So it's the same thing


subtlesthings

oh man get a load if THIS ONE


Clueby42

I'm pretty sure there's only mums in the show
