Reviews for Mother Knows Best
I rather like the pairing of Pansy and Ron! A sad, but satisfying end - you just hope Violet learns from this. Good name choice too!
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Mother Knows Best)
I'm fond of Ron/Pansy and was glad to have the opportunity to work with them (and Violet). Thanks for reading!
Good for Pansy, though maybe there is hope for reconciliation eventually.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Mother Knows Best)
I hope reconciliation would come eventually - thanks for reading,

Molly, in all her wisdom, is right.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Mother Knows Best)
She is, indeed. Thanks for reading,

I'm not entirely sure who to feel for here. Everyone has cause to create hurt and be hurt. I found this a very clever drabble. Thank you.

Thank you for your kind words,

‘Just remember, you always have a home with me.' That's perhaps the most disgusting thing I can imagine a mother saying to her daughter on her wedding day. The fact that it follows an exchange of 'I love you's is just terribly sad. Good on Pansy for sticking to her guns, and here's to Violet getting her act together before she does any more damage... Beautifully written.

~nods~ I agree. I'm so pleased you liked the story.
An excellent take on the prompt. Well-written. You can literally see her blindness.

Violet deserved what she got. She did her best to destroy what made her own daughter happy, why would Pansy give her the chance to do the same to her grandchild? Good for Pansy. Well done, mystery author.

yess yess yesss!There is a god. And a wife that knows where her true loyalty lies and how to really slam a nasty mother the door in the face *wham*Yes, this was rather satisfying!Thank you for sharing!

It was rather satisfying to write, as well. Thanks for reading,

I must say that was most deserved. Some mothers think that their love of their child excuses any behavior to make the quasi-best decissions for the child, but that is not true at all. Where is respect for another human being?Your story made me emotional. This happens so often in out world. And always with best intensions at heart. Very sad.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Mother Knows Best)
It was a bit emotional to write, as well. Thanks for reading,

! I always look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Love the depiction of their situation through the dialogues; so sad, but good for Pansy! Painful, but finally able to break the ties that bound her for her new, different life with her own family - lovely, bittersweet work!

Thank you so much,

I like the format, all dialogue. And I like the pairing - I have a soft spot for Ron/Pansy. Her mother is a cold biatch, though, and apparently incapable of truly feeling. You did a good job of conveying that.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Mother Knows Best)
I have a soft spot for them, too. Thanks for reading,

Violet. Great name! :)
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Mother Knows Best)
I thought so, too. :-)
Yes, mother knows best how to become estranged from her child. How sad for everyone involved, but I am glad that Ron and Pansy can move on and be happy, even if it means dumping the extra baggage. Maybe now that she knows what's at stake she will change her ways.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Mother Knows Best)
One hopes so! Thanks for reading,

Well, they tried, but she didn't. This was a well-written progression.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Mother Knows Best)
Thank you so much!
Pwned! Can't blame them!

Indeed! Thanks for reading.
Excellent point about karma!

Thank you, Rose!
Yay! Good for her to cut her mother off.
