Lois, played by Jane Kaczmarek (147 episodes), is Francis, Reese, Malcolm, Dewey, and Jamie's mother. She is an overbearing control freak despised by the neighbors to the point that they refuse to invite her to their gatherings, revealed in "Mono". Unlike Malcolm, Lois isn't bothered by it and tries her best to blend in with it. She was revealed to be a charming and a nurturing mother while Francis was little, but toughened up. She is also always right, to the point of being unable to say that she was wrong. It was also shown that she is overbearing and mad as a result of her children's bad behavior, and not her pure hate. At the series finale, Lois is revealed to be pregnant with a sixth child. Her unfairness and behavior also come from her miserable childhood, living with a tough mother and an uncaring father. She also has an older sister, Susan, who was the popular one and lead a successful life unlike Lois, and Hal almost married Susan over Lois. As a result, they have a very bitter relationship and they rarely visit each other.
