Being a mother is probably one of the hardest jobs on the planet. You are a cook, a nurse, a chauffeur, a maid, and so much more. While in the land of daytime soap operas, there are many moms that are able to juggle those responsibilities, all the while holding down the job of being the shows heroine. But there are also many soap opera moms that simply lack the maternal instinct it takes to be a good mother. Below are the best of the worst, when it comes to soap opera moms.
6. Kate Roberts – Days of Our Lives
So Kate isn’t the worst mother on this list, landing her at number six, but this doesn’t mean she can considered a good mom either. She’s constantly meddled in the love lives of both Lucas and Phillip, and has been at the hands of costing them the love of their lives on more than one occasion. Kate also snatched Countess Wilhelmina right from under the rug of her daughter, Billy. Not only is she a bad mother, but she’s been less than a stellar grandmother too. She’s constantly taking aim at Sami Brady, the mother of her (deceased) grandson Will. While Kate has done some terrible things in the past, she claims to have done them in the name of the love she has for her family. It’s a twisted idea, but when push comes to shove, she is always there for her family.
