History Main / IMissMom

* Comes up in AvatarTheLastAirBender a few times, what with all the war-orphans.

* A rare example where someone says this about ''both'' parents is seen in episode 25 of ''TigerAndBunny''; [[OnlyChildSyndrome Barnaby]] [[GraveMarkingScene visits his murdered parents' grave]] and ends up in tears, saying "I miss you...Mum, Dad! I wish...I could've spent more time with the two of you."

* In ''{{Earthbound}}'', "Homesickness" is a Standard Status Effect. To get rid of it, you actually have to call your mother on the telephone.
** Or "use" a newly-hatched chick. It's not clear what this entails, but it removes the baby bird from the character's inventory.
* Chapter 6 in ''{{Mother 3}}'' is primarily centered around this.

* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy''

** the irony is that while Shinji and Asuka may miss their moms, really though, they've never been closer to them.

--> "There are plenty of kids who miss their mothers; that's the world we live in."

* ''SuperMarioGalaxy''

* Appears in ''{{Evangelion}}'', where pretty much everyone misses their mothers.

** A particular TearJerker in the episode "The Runaway" with Sokka confessing that as much as he misses her, he can't even remember his mother's face anymore. When he thinks of her, all he can picture is Katara, his younger sister who took over mothering him when their mom was killed. Toph also finally admits that she misses her parents and feels bad about making them worry all this time.

** While avoiding the exact phrase, the series includes a scene of Shinji and Gendo visiting Yui's grave that kind of carries the feel of this trope. Rather then the standard "I miss her too" sentiment though, Gendo instead discusses how he was fortunate to have what time he did with her and how important it is to rise above the loss, which Shinji finds rather inspiring.

* In ''{{Monster}}'', Eva's frail chance at happiness with one of the only men who treats her well is foiled by the man's daughter, who misses mommy. When said mother comes back home from her adulterous ways, his daughter's happiness erases Eva out of the equation completely.

* SleeplessInSeattle had a helping of this.
* The first Spider-Man film has Peter Parker telling Aunt May how much he misses Uncle Ben after his graduation.
* {{Signs}} has Abigail Breslin and MelGibson sharing this moment.

* In ''{{Earthbound}}'', "Homesickness" is a Standard Status Effect. To get rid of it, you actually have to call your mother on the telephone.

* ''GuildWars'': "Mother told me we see people again after we die. I miss her."

* Deconstructed in ''{{Evangelion}}'', all the pilots (and some of the rest of the cast) miss their mothers. Oh Irony.
