Lynette Scavo is the always tired but very witty wife and mom. She is smart and good at work. She is so good she tends to emasculate her husband. She finds it difficult not to correct her husband that she almost loses him. She finds it difficult not to correct her children as well and as much as she wants them out of the house, they find ways to get back in. Not a good home maker others might say, but her family relationships say otherwise.
Wanting to be Bree I did not like Lynette at the beginning. She seemed cluttered, unhappy and unfulfilled with a life that seemed to me was good. A husband who works. Children to take care of. A home to clean.
But as the show progressed, I realized there was a Lynette in me. A Lynette who wanted more than just to be wife, mother and home maker. A Lynette who could do more and wanted to do more.
She was not a bad wife nor a bad mother for not wanting to be home to take care of the house and her husband with the children all day. She was simply a woman who could do more and be more. Not being able to bring that out frustrated her.
I truly admire her. Cluttered and all she knows what really is important in her life, and the rest are just peripherals.
