Changes: Thelma Griffin

Revision as of 15:05, 14 May 2011

Thelma Griffin, (born 1924) is the mother of Peter Griffin, and the ex-wife of the late Francis Griffin. She took care of her son her whole life without much help from Francis, who was often verbally abusive to Peter. Thelma sometimes threw whiskey bottles at Peter when he had tooth aches. She attended many of Peter's parent-teacher conferences, as seen in "Death Lives". She is known for her frequent chain smoking usually going on gambling streaks in Atlantic City, as seen in "Holy Crap". At the end of the episode, she comes to visit her son as a place to rest from her gambling streak. The Griffins have a rocket powered escape pod installed in the side of their home for a quick escape when Thelma visits, which they used in the episode. She rarely visits Peter, if at all, which does not seem to concern Peter or Lois.

She attended Jasper and Ricardo's wedding in "You May Now Kiss the...Uh...Guy Who Receives".

She eventually left her husband in "Mother Tucker, saying she had needs he couldn't satisfy and hooked up with Tom Tucker, only to leave him too because she "needed someone to clear all the bats out of my plumbing", causing her to reunite with Francis. In this episode, it's revealed that she has a bladder control problem. However, their marriage ended shortly afterwards upon Francis's death in "Peter's Two Dads", making Thelma a widow.

This unraveled a couple of secrets to and about her son. In that episode, it is revealed that Peter's true father is Mickey McFinnigan after a one night stand during a trip to Ireland. In "Padre de Familia", Peter visits her asking for his birth certificate after implementing a company-wide employee history check. There, she reveals Peter was born in a Mexican abortion clinic, where after he was born, she fell in motherly love with him, and decided not to put him up for adoption. She never filled out the paperwork for her son, so that technically made him an illegal immigrant.
