Anyone else here agree that the Addams family is one of the most surprisingly functional and wholesome families?

[julievallee]

" I am sorry you didn't feel you couldn't tell me" is, imo, the most powerfull statement. No accusations, no guilt trip, just putting out there how she feels about the choice with no judgement. Not just the words, but the way it is delivered. you can feel the sorrow, but also respect. I like that bit, and when she says that Wednesday has her own path to blase.

[kaylaward]

I love that Morticia gives her physical distance because Wednesday doesn't like touch, but she still shows love. It shows that even if she's not getting all of the message at the beginning, she's understanding that she needs to give Wednesday more independence and respect, which is a great start. My own mom and I had a similar experience growing up, and we got closer the more she respected my independence and I saw that she could give me guidance. We now have a beautiful relationship, but it started with that initial willingness to trust in each other.

In fairness, the reason Wednesday didn't have a voice in coming to Nevermore is because she'd been kicked out of several public schools. The impression was her parents were out of options for where to send Wednesday and Nevermore was their last resort. They did try to make the transition easier for her by convincing the school accommodate her tastes in her school uniform. Morticia nailed it when she said Wednesday sometimes gets in her own way, because don't we all have those moments?

[kandyappleview]

my favorite thing is how Morticia "hugs" Wednesday. She not only understands, but respects that Wednesday doesn't like to be touched. Yet as a mother and an individual with her own personality, Morticia needs and wants to express affection. the way she chooses to hug Wednesday is such a great balance of Morticia honoring her daughter's needs without suppressing her own needs.

It also shows the pureness of Morticia's intent: it's not about "well i'm a hugger, and you know i'm doing it out of love so just let me do it". Morticia is ok with choosing a different way, because her daughter receiving the message is more important than Morticia doing it the way she wants.

Even the Addams Family can have their parental issues. Although Morticia is well intentioned, Wednesday still feels chafed by her, which is relatable to anyone with a helicopter parent.

[brandiarmstrong]

Morticia: I know you aren't me, Wednesday. But that doesn't mean you are any less my daughter, even if we are polar opposites. I love you, and I will always love you. Even if you don't, as you say, "fall in love, be a housewife, or start a family." I love you more than you realize now, and you will always be my daughter, no matter how far you go, no matter how different we are.


Me: How I wish my mom felt the same way!

[friendlyneigborhoodbean]

I just love how the Addams Family is this weird and horrifying family. But yet they have the most stable and loving family I've ever seen in shows/movies

[robertadeakins-figueroa]

I love the series Wednesday. Having an almost 13-year-old, I truly related to this video. I'm not a helicopter mom, but I have a hard time figuring out how much independence to give my child.

[colleenfeeney]

I think the scene with the visions has some other elements. Mortica doesn't shame her for not telling her earlier. She apologizes for not making it safe for her to come to her. And then she gives her space to open up, but doesn't force it.

[christinasills]

My husband passed in a tragic car accident on January 21st that I was the driver. Another car hit us. This was one of our favorite shows to watch together both yours and Wednesday. I haven’t been able to get a grief counselor and joined Mendedlife and saw January is about grief I am so glad I joined.

I can't wait for your impressions on Wensday's therapy. Her therapist reminded me of my own horror stories with the worst therapists while I was a teenager.

[elaineb]

THIS RIGHT HERE is why I'm minimal contact with my father: he's an all-out lecturer. How he thinks the world works is, to him, the only way it works, & any other opinion is worthless to him. He keeps saying stuff like "people don't like..." X thing I've always done, when I'm sure he means HE doesn't like it. People are all different, including me from him, & that seems to be something he can never accept.

[anaarias]

13:44 I couldn’t agree more with this statement. I parent my siblings learning from my moms mistakes and my grandparents mistakes. I’ve done this more recently with my sister she took my car and had friends in the car when she still can’t do that. Well my mom was mad and got her in trouble. When she got home (she lives with me) I had a conversation with her and told her of something similar that happened with a close friend of mine in which didn’t end well and at the end of the conversation we were both tearing and she was upset she understood the dangers of it and that those rules were there to protect her and her friends.

I am a middle-aged adult who has parents still controlling my life. I moved thousands of miles away and they still try to control my life. I think my parents need to see this video. I know it must be difficult to be a parent, and that is why I chose not to become one. I like Wednesday. She knows who she is and won't let anyone control her.

[TheTaiylorWallace]

The Addams Family, even with their problems, will always be one of the healthiest movie families ever. They learn from, about, and for each other. The biggest thing is parent-to-child respect which is unfortunately only recently becoming more common. In any other relationship, most people would agree respect must be mutual. But somehow before my own adulthood, that was a novel concept in parenting. Parents demanded respect for generations without giving it in return, leading to the common belief that teens are rebellious and need to be leashed and forced to do anything. I'm looking forward to seeing how respectful parenting turns out in the next couple decades. I foresee many kinder and stronger young people with boundaries, healthy respect for themselves, and happier starts.

[kiramiller]

I wish I had a mother like Morticia. She did push a little bit of herself onto Wednesday but then she recognized that she's becoming her own person. I wish my own mother could have recognized that with me

[Nicamon]

My problem with the whole premise of"Wednesday"is that THE thing about the Addams Family is that they're dark, spooky and creepy and all about serial killers and always torturing and trying to kill each other, but they are actually a very loving and supporting family...in the 2nd movie Gomez&Morticia let the kids go to camp even if they don't understand the choice because they believe their kids want to and when Pubert gets possessed Morticia changes his whole room and starts to read him"normal"kids stories to adapt to his new tastes, so...WHY THE HELL is the premise of this show that Wednesday thinks her parents want to control her and to make her become a copy of them?This has never been and _should_ never be an Addams issue!!>^<#
02:57 - 03:01 In Italian their names both begin with M...Morticia&Mercoledì.😉🌹🖤
04:20 - 04:22 I was 10.😄 09:53 - 10:05 Still don't know what that means.🤷‍♂

[Stealaire]

I don't have contact with my mom anymore (5 years and going) but I'm still watching this video right after seeing the notification. Why, you ask ? Because I'm beyond interested by every video that Mended Light is posting. It just blew my mind every time how insightful it is, so thank you !

[puppeiluv]

I’m seeing everything said here in the tension between my aunt and cousin and it’s terrible 😢 because I know she will never let her son be his own person and it’s tearing them apart
