I'll do 10, one from each franchise. In no particular order.

10. Natasha Romanova (Criminal Case)-Natasha neglected her daughter, Marina for years and years and wasn't particually a 'good mother' to the point where she became head of an evil co-operation and ordered the kill on Vitaly Borodin.

9. Cora Mills (Once Upon a Time)-Although redeemed until now, Cora didn't have a heart (literally). And when Regina finally met the sister she'd always dreamed of, she took her away to Oz and abandoned her. She cheated on Henry, as well.

8. Sienna Blake (Hollyoaks)-Sienna is mad, she is the aunt/mother of her daughter, and was madly in love with her twin brother, Mark (Dodger). She has turned Nico into a complete psychopath (2 murders under her belt, so far) but there could be some hope.

7. Aleida Diaz (Orange is the New Black)-Despite having dozens of children with several different men, Dayanara's father left her when she was 2, prompting Aleida to look after her (and then other children) by herself. Until she met Cesar, who she loved, then Aleida got arrested for drug related offenses, Dayanara slept with Cesar, Dayanara got arrested, happy families. But it didn't take too long for Aleida to find a replacement for Dayanara in prison, Maria Ruiz.

6. Beverly Hofstadter (The Big Bang Theory)-Beverly may seem to be too upright and stable, but seems to only despise Leonard. Having her wedding with 'only a few friends, and your brother and sister' and not Leonard seems to be awful, and favourtising Sheldon. Not good, Bev. Not good.

5. Beverly Goldberg (The Goldbergs)-Beverly.2, Beverly just seems a bit overbearing and a bit clingy, which will, in future, make her children turn on her. I couldn't imagine living in a house like that.

4. Wicked Stepmother (Into the Woods)-Her name says it all. Wicked to Cinderella and favours Lucinda and Florinda. Being so selfish that she wouldn't let Cinderella have one glimpse at happiness.

3. Agnes Skinner (The Simpsons)-Agnes is rude and wicked to Seymour. Agnes has no reason to be wicked, and isn't just mean to Seymour, more so to anyone who crosses her path (besides Comic Book Guy).

2. Lois Griffin (Family Guy)-Although one of the most prominent character's in the show, Lois neglects her children (ish) and is abusive to Meg (just not as much as Peter). She steals, is a porn star, etc.

1. Madame Thenardier (Les Mis)-Mother of Eponine, Mme. T was left with Cosette briefly before Valjean took her, Mme. T treated Eponine with wealth, while Cosette was left as their scullery maid. She showed no emotion over Eponine's death.
