Page "Kitty Forman" Paragraph 2

Unlike Red, Kitty enjoys having young people around her house.

In way of her children, she plays favorites with Laurie and Eric.

She thinks of Laurie as a screw-up and says she loves her " because I have to.

" She often tries to get through to Laurie, but most of the time has no luck and gives up.

To her Eric is her baby, and she fears losing him to Donna, so she often babies him and is overprotective.

Upon hearing of Eric losing his virginity ( episode " The Parents Find Out ") she stays in bed, depressed and angry at Donna, only leaving bed when Eric reminds her that he needs Kitty to protect him from Red.

For a time she was sad that her children were growing up and expressed a desire for another baby, episode " Baby Fever ", which Red was not happy about.

She only resolved not having a baby when Red reminded her of grandchildren, which he has also forgotten.

She proceeded to ask both Laurie and Eric about having kids, and decided that she wasn't excited for Laurie's children and couldn't wait for Eric's.

When Eric and Donna announced that they were moving to Madison at the end of Season Five, Kitty suffered a nervous breakdown, exacerbated by Red's support of the plan.

Later, when Eric planned to go to Africa in Season Seven, Kitty tried to sabotage his efforts by withholding food and information on immunizations.

After he left at the start of Season Eight, Kitty briefly tried marijuana.
