Joyce
This would probably be the coolest mother in the world. But as Buffy need to look perfect, flaws are needed on Joyce, so that one can like Buffy better. She is shown as a mother who does not know anything about her daughters life, but I see that's not true. She knows nothing because I see Buffy does not trust her. Joyce loves Buffy no matter what, but Buffy still puts her through so much pain.
As I see it, she is not trying to wreck Buffy's life. If Buffy had, had a good relationship with her mother, she could have told her. Joyce is just as concerned as any other mother with a teenage daughter, and when finally Buffy and Joyce seems like they are getting a better relationship, Dawn ruins everything.
As I said, Buffy need to be portrayed as the perfect one, Joyce have flaws, and therefore some say she send Angel away, did you miss the fact Buffy pierced Angel, condemning him to hell, even though she knew he was not evil anymore..? If something's sending one away, I would guess that takes the price. Joyce only warn Angel not to break Buffy's heart, not knowing Angel's problem with the soul and being afraid of just that scenario, as Buffy is not really the girl to know where you have in a relationship.
Still Joyce is very open to what Buffy and her friends are, but still she is always the last one to know about everything, which seem unfair then that Buffy can say "But moooom!", when she won't tell what it is about, even when she gets older because it's "safer". Well nice on Buff, how can she be safer is she knows not what's after you? It's more stupid to run over, say, "No worries, but I can't tell you what not to worry about", than to give a ring, or if you have to run over, and say "Worry about this, if you see it, call me or Giles and run like hell!". Not telling would not make it harder for the creature to hunt the mother down, but as usual, phones are never used in the correct situation in American TV-series/Films.
Well, back to Joyce. Joyce, is loving, caring, open and tries to be as good as she can.
I would love to have Joyce as a mother. Buffy still has a lot of freedom "normal" kids don't have, even though she fails school miserably at many points.
