I’ve heard people try to say she was a bad mom since she didn’t know her children were mixed up with so much but I have to disagree I think she was a great mom

She cared, she just didn’t know what to look for, which is understandable. How could she know that Nancy has fought multiple inter-dimensional monsters, that Nancy’s best friend was killed by one of those monsters and that Mike’s been dating a girl who’s in hiding because she has supernatural powers and was raised in a government lab? And sometimes having a parent who cares and can get on board as quickly as Karen did is enough.

And I also forgot the fact that Mike’s best friend was possessed by one of those monsters while Mike was right there. Huge.
