Obamna's mother.

* DisgustingVegetarianFood: Makes the boys eat a veggie tray before they can have gluten-free pizza. They find this gross.
* DistractedByTheSexy: Leaves her kid with Ben, despite his protests, because she has a hot date.
* GoodParents: Unlike [[ExtremeDoormat Donald's mom]] and [[ParentalNeglect Joe's mom]], Obamna's mom is a level-headed parent who both respects and sets boundaries for her son. This may explain by he's the most well-adjusted out of the three. She's not without her faults, though.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: A parent version; she adores her son and her goal is for her kid and kids in general to be safe and healthy, but she takes it too far by trying to control how others parent their children.

* TheAlcoholic: Always drinking.

* AwfulWeddedLife: In a toxic relationship with his wife. Refuses to go to marriage counseling.
* CharacterDevelopment: After Donald's birthday, he starts genuinely trying to pull his weight in the family and "Ben Ruins the Book Fair" reveals he took a job as a delivery driver. He's... still not very good at it, but it's a step in the right direction.
* DadTheVeteran: Fought in the Vietnam War, which might explain his drinking.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Is upset when he finds out that his son was kidnapped by a stranger in a white van.
* HappilyMarried: Was genuinely loving and loyal to his wife when their son was a baby.
* HouseHusband: Nominally, though he's more of a NeglectfulParent and LazyBum who mooches off his wife. Though at the beginning of their relationship, he was a more genuine one.

* JerkAss: Rude, short-tempered and an overall asshole to everyone.
* LazyBum: He stays at home drinking and yells at anybody who tries to get him to work.

* ExtremeDoormat: A grown woman who lets a clique of middle and high schoolers walk all over her.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She WANTS to be. She's not an oblivious sadist like the Principal, and at least tries to teach her class properly; but she's also regularly subjugated by the cool kids, who's antics she SHOULD put her foot down on. That said, she only hands out detentions when she's either strong armed into doing so or when a kid actually deserves it.

* NotSoAboveItAll: PlayedForDrama; [[spoiler: he's the OnlySaneEmployee, but even he is manipulated by Ping and plays right into his hands.]]

He gives detentions when they're actually earned (Kim and Andrew's stinkbomb prank; Ben and Vlad being in the girls' locker room) but doesn't look for reasons or do so with insult. [[Spoiler: Unfortunately, being sane doesn't make him immune to Ping's manipulations]].
