Dexter and Dee Dee's Mom is the mother of Dexter and Dee-Dee, and the wife of Dexter and Dee Dee's Dad. She is an everyday house mom as well as a Germ-o-phobic. She always wears a pair of yellow gloves and is mostly seen keeping things clean around the house. She is a very busy mom who is seen doing lots of other work around the house as well.
She is voiced by Kath Soucie, who also voiced Lola Bunny in Space Jam, Sally Acorn in Sonic the Hedgehog (SATM), Phil, Lil, and Betty in Rugrats and All Grown Up!, Perdita in 101 Dalmatians II, Kanga in Pooh series, Maddie Fenton in Danny Phantom, Wendy Darling (adult) in Return to Neverland, Janine Melnitz in The Real Ghostbusters, Fifi La Fume in Tiny Toon Adventures, Morgana Macawber in Darkwing Duck and Tuffy in Tom and Jerry series.
Appearance[]
Dexter's Mom is a Minnesota-raised Irishwoman and is as tall as her husband. Her features include bright-red hair that is slightly curled, doe-eyes with long lashes, wears lipstick, a fair complexion, slender arms, a small waist, a round bust, shapely legs, and birthing hips that leads to her wide behind. She wears a mint-green blouse-shirt with a wide collar, white apron, pink undergarments, and green tight pants with matching pumps for her small feet. Due to being a Germ-o-phobe, she almost always wears her signature yellow rubber gloves.
As an infant, she wore a diaper, had a single red hair on her head and a pacifier in her mouth.
In swimwear, two-piece green bikini (only polka dot in Cartoon Network summer Italy bumper).
Personality[]
Mom is a woman who is afraid of germs and has trouble being around the rest of the family without her rubber gloves. She is rarely seen without her gloves, and, should she happen to lose them, starts to go insane in an episode - "Pslightly Psycho" to be exact - when they have gone missing from her nightstand. She is also shown to have quite a ferocious temper that shows itself when she is disobeyed or angered in some way, going so far as to threaten Dexter with a spanking due to his unwillingness to throw out the garbage.
Although a stereotypical housewife, a few episodes imply most of Dexter's personality comes from her, including her perfectionist streaks, intelligence, and her penchant for dramatics. She speaks in a kind of Minnesotan accent. Normally she is shown to be just as unintelligent as Dad, although occasionally she is shown to be smarter than him or Dad is shown to be more calculating than her.
Biography[]
Though her first name is unknown, her maiden surname before marrying Dexter's Dad was probably O'Reilly since that is the last name of her brother.
It is revealed in a flashback episode that she used to be a Valley Girl type in the 1980s, which may also be the basis for her accent. She also met her future husband in college; he ended up helping her cope with university life and her germ fear. It's also revealed he gave her her yellow gloves to help her. In Chess Mom, it is revealed that she used to be a cheerleader in high school. She is always seen walking on her tiptoes and her feet make a very dainty, clicking sound whenever she walks around which explains how Dee Dee inherited the squishy sound her feet make when she walks around. On that note, it is revealed in one episode that Dee Dee inherited snowball fighting skills from Mom. Her real name has never been revealed, and her husband only refers to her as "honey," "dear," etc. When she was a baby, she was a pacifier sucking addict and always whined.
Dexter's mother has also shown to be an heroine as well as being able to be proficient in martial arts very well. She beat up another mom with strong and fast punches and kicks, rescued Dexter from aliens, and helped Dexter save the world from Badaxtra.

Trivia[]

- This is likely a continuity error due to tremendous changes made in seasons 3 and 4.

- She became viral on social media because of the episode Better off Wet that features her in a green two-piece swimsuit, many fan-artists illustrate her as a pin-up character, such as the leaked test-animation GIF of Dexter and Dee Dee's Mom with bigger body proportions and a skimpy thong-bikini doing exercises and pool-diving.
