So I don't blame her for reacting badly and in an over the top manner (on very little notice); which she really regretted after as we saw in Anne.
And that's why I can kind of see myself forgiving her and overlooking it if I watched the early seasons again (goodness knows I love other characters for far worse crimes!), but I don't think I could ever love her or call her a great mother the way some fans do; relative to mothers I've known in real life and other mothers in fiction, I just don't think she's a shining example of one.
But, man, have you seen Joyce smashing the hell out of that zombie with a baseball bat in Dead Man's Party? How can you not respect her after that? ;)
Meh, I've never rewatched that episode because of how the characters jump all over Buffy. If I respect her for anything, it's definitely with her axe in "School Hard." That's awesome.
