Most mothers care for their kids and would do anything for their kids but, addie on the other hand she does not feel that way about her children at all. Addie plays the character as the wife and mother of cash, darl, jewel, dewey dell, and vardaman in that order. Somehow she see’s some of her children as mistakes and some of them to make up for the mistakes. She even dislikes her husband Anse. Through the story we can see through how she talks and how she feels about her children and life in general and mostly be can see hate and dislike for them as seen throughout the whole story.
However addie does seem to love jewel and that's her favorite child. But she also made the comment that “I would hate my father for have ever planting me”, she’s
