A Definitive Ranking Of 'One Tree Hill' Moms

Love them or hate them, they made the show

With Mother's Day around the corner, we look towards the motherly figures in our lives. For many, this includes the moms on our favorite TV shows. So, here it is, a ranking of the moms of One Tree Hill:

9. Nanny Carrie

First, she tries to steal Nathan, then she kidnaps Jamie, and then Dan, and then almost Jamie again. I’m sorry your son died Carrie, but really? You had to try & ruin Tree Hill? You were easy to hate.

8. Victoria

Bitch-oria, as she was affectionately coined by Peyton, earned the title for a majority of the seasons. She got a little better after running Brooke’s company into the ground, and Brooke forgave her... but I’m just not sure.

7. Deb

She lived with Dan for 16 years, can we really blame her for going crazy? The answer is yes. She never tried to stick up for Nathan (or herself) and do what’s best for the two of them. Even after a stint in rehab, she came back into Nathan’s life like a wrecking ball.

6. Ellie

She made the selfless decision to give Peyton up for adoption and later came back into her life to develop a relationship with Peyton. She ALWAYS put Peyton first, and for that I commend her.

5. Peyton

Peyton had potential to be a great mother, but sadly she ran off right after Sawyer’s birth, so there’s not much to judge her “mom skills” off of.

4. Lydia

No matter what choices her daughters made, Lydia supported them 110%, which is something any mom can aspire to do. When she knew she didn’t have long, her first thought was to spend her time with her girls and grandson, which just makes you fall more in love with her. Her first granddaughter is even named in her honor, which tells you a lot about how much she was loved.

3. Brooke

Clearly Brooke loved kids – after she was told she couldn’t have a child she fostered, tried adoption, and even helped a little girl who needed a heart surgery. Once Brooke had her twins, she put everything on hold and focused her life around them. Brooke was born to be a mom, and after her childhood there wasn’t a doubt in my mind that she’d be a damn good one.

2. Haley

Is there really ever anything bad to say about Haley? She loved fiercely and knew what she wanted and wasn’t going to stop until she got it. She was already the “Mom” of the friend group, so transitioning to a mom to Jamie (& then Lydia), there really wasn’t a doubt of her abilities.





1. Karen

Was there even a question of who would be queened “Mom of Tree Hill”? Karen was blacklisted from the town for being the mom of the “other Scott Boy”, but she never let it stop her (or Lucas)- of course it was a little easier with her Child’s Uncle/Lover/Eventual Father of her child in the picture, supporting her every step of the way. Karen never let Dan win, and that’s enough to get any title in Tree Hill. I just wish we got to see her raise Lilly more…

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
