Regina Lawson (Dhar Mann)

Regina Lawson is a recurring character in the Dhar Mann video series, who usually appears along with her son Jay in certain videos.

So You See, This Is Why She's Not A Good Parent

 * 1) She is a rehash of Kathy Miller, Mikey’s mom, as she is an awful parent who treats her son Jay horribly, similarly to how Kathy treats Mikey.
 * 2) * Additionally, she tends to call Jay, "That boy", which means she is treating Jay like he isn't her son, which further proves that she isn't a good parent to Jay at all.
 * 3) Similarly to her husband, as for her way of discipline, she doesn't give normal punishments and instead creates these whole scenarios just to teach Jay a lesson. A few of them are shown below.
 * 4) Kid WON'T LISTEN To His MOTHER: Hiring a fake kidnapper to kidnap Jay, which she did to teach Jay about reverse psychology. This is considered to be her worst idea ever, as Jay actually got kidnapped by a real kidnapper thanks to this, which could have scarred him for life because of her. To top it off, she has the nerve to get mad at Jay for trying to use reverse psychology on her.
 * 5) * In real life, she would have been arrested or have her children taken away for child abuse and for being a part of the kidnapping crime (considering she planned it).
 * 6) KID WON'T Go To SLEEP AT NIGHT: Gives Jay a Red Bull to keep him awake all night, which results in him being sleep deprived when he goes to school the next day (in fact he drank multiple of them, during the montage).
 * 7) Mom Sends BAD KID To MILITARY SCHOOL: Sends Jay to military school after he puts hot sauce on her boyfriend's cheesecake. The experience ends up scarring Jay for life after Sergeant Stokes abused him in various ways.
 * 8) Kid Becomes A GROWN UP For 24 HOURS: Forcing Jay to go to work with her at the hospital, after he said he would rather work instead of going to school, despite the fact that Jay is underaged to be working.
 * 9) She also abuses her son Jay in certain videos as well, and treats him like he's a Butt-Monkey. If you can tell by "Kid FLATTENS MOM'S TIRE To SKIP TEST" Jay flinches when his mom is yelling at him, in which provides proof that she likely abused him.
 * 10) Kid WON'T LISTEN To His MOTHER: Allowing her son to get kidnapped, in which she and her older son planned this out. And also attacking Jay with a shoe at the end of the video after Jay takes the cookie jar.
 * 11) KID STEALS Tickets At FUN CENTER: Strangling her son by the neck, after catching Jay and Mikey cheat at the fun center contest. What is the big deal, it's a BIRTHDAY PARTY.
 * 12) * Realistically someone at the party would call her out, stop her or even called the police for strangling her son, not laughing at her son for being strangled.
 * 13) In 11-Year-Old ARRESTED At SCHOOL she yelled at her husband for involving Jay in a hostage situation, when there was a shooting at a restaurant and Jay was with his dad at the time, she yelled at BOTH of them for letting Jay get involved.
 * 14) *While it isn't explicitly stated, it is implied that she divorced her husband after this, as he isn't seen in any episodes following and she is seen with other men. This shows she is a cheater as well.
 * 15) KID WON'T Go To SLEEP AT NIGHT: As mentioned, she gave her son Jay a Red Bull, to keep him awake all night. Which is dangerous since they can cause symptoms such as restlessness, tremors, palpitations, nervousness, irregular heart rhythms and other life-threatening heart-rhythm changes. Meaning she basically gave him a drink that could risk his life in later years.
 * 16) Kid Becomes A GROWN UP For 24 HOURS: Forcing Jay to work with her at the hospital despite him being underaged, allowing him to almost be assaulted by a patient that is a possible psychopath, and selling all of Jay's things and giving him a horrible life.
 * 17) Hypocrisy: She teaches some life lessons to Jay about certain distasteful things, and also gets mad at Jay for not listening to her, yet she also does distasteful things herself to her son and others.
 * 18) Favoritismː While she abuses Jay, she shows favoritism towards her other two sons, Issac and Grant.
 * 19) Her catchphrase, "Absolutely, NOT!" is very annoying, especially when she tends to repeat it in various videos.
 * 20) Of course like Kathy Miller, she is an extremely bad role model for parents who watch Dhar Mann, as she teaches to give children scenario punishments and act mean-spirited.
 * 21) Unlike Jay, it appears she'll most likely receive no character development or even fully decent moments since she remains the exact same, and has even gotten somewhat worse and exaggerated over time.
 * 22) She also a huge Karma Houdini as she didn't got called-out or didn't even receive any consequences for her hypocrisy, awful discipline, abusing and/or her mean-spirited behavior.
 * 23) Strangely, she doesn't appear in "Jay & Mikey" despite being Jay's legal guardian, it is unknown if she got arrested for her abusive behavior or not. But it seems like Dhar just got rid of her entirely in Jay and Mikey's own show.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) She is likable in only 2 videos such as "Kid GETS TRAPPED In MINECRAFT" and "Kid Is Left HOME ALONE On CHRISTMAS".
 * 2) She does have a point when she tells her son to be good, but because of her hypocrisy and overall mean-spirited behavior, it fails.
 * 3) Most of her punishments towards Jay actually seem fair in a way, including:
 * 4) KID FAKES Broken Arm To SKIP TEST ft. @Lethal Shooter: Grounding Jay for faking a arm injury to get out of a school exam.
 * 5) KIDS RUIN Mom's JOB INTERVIEW: Grounding Jay for ruining Kathy's interview.
 * 6) Shanunte Massard does a great job with her role, despite overacting at times.
 * 7) She had a good reason to yell at Jay in Kid FLATTENS MOM'S TIRE To SKIP TEST after what he did.
