Susan Heffley (Diary of a Wimpy Kid)

Susan Heffley is Greg, Rodrick, and Manny's mother. She is also a major character in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid franchise.

Why She Sucks

 * 1) In the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books Susan is shown to be a generic overprotective mother.
 * 2) She constantly tortures and embarrasses Greg as shown in most of the books.
 * 3) She lets Manny get away with everything like drawing on Greg's wall, not punishing Manny at all, and letting that brat get away with almost killing the entire Heffley family in Cabin Fever.
 * 4) She is the reason the Heffley's are on disastrous vacations in The Long Haul, The Getaway, and The Deep End are vacations that caused Frank to lose his boat, the family getting hated at a luxurious place, and almost causing Greg to get in trouble with the camp director.
 * 5) In the Long Haul book she lets Manny keep the pig even though she should have known that pigs cause lots of problems.
 * 6) Most mothers want their children to look cool and be handsome so when Greg found a brown leather jacket she literally said you can't wear this and embarrassed Greg by giving him her coat. Sure Greg's jacket was keeping him cold but still, I would feel pain from the laughter of students just watching me in an overgrown coat.
 * 7) In the Long Haul movie Susan was at her absolute worst, first of all, she was nothing like the other films. Alicia Silverstone gave a threatening performance and wasn't like Rachel Harris who gave the character a sweet performance.
 * 8) She was dancing during Rodrick's concert which embarrassed him all over the entire internet.
 * 9) She gave Greg the advice to make the right choice, and then giving him stupid advice to ruin his reputation (seriously, how is it that you can give parenting advice 1 time, and be an idiot the next? )!
 * 10) In Dog Days, she tries to make a reading club for Greg and the rest of the neighborhood. What the heck? Who does that during the summer break?
 * 11) She also never believes Rodrick or Greg. An example would be in the Rodrick Rules movie, in an animated scene, in which an obscure cat the Heffleys own named Frisky, pushed off a lamp, breaking it. As a result, Manny told Susan that "Bubby did it", causing Susan to be mad at him.
 * 12) She thinks Manny's imaginative friends are real! When Manny broke a plate he told Susan that Johnny Cheddar did it.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) She is a caring mother.
 * 2) In the first 3 Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies her character is much more relatable and likable
 * 3) She helps her children at times.
