#howimetyourSTEPmother

I have to weigh in on the HIMYM series finale because it has taken us nine friggin years to get here.

So, here be spoilers... you have been warned.

Tbh, I wasn't entirely surprised to see the mother killed off just so Ted could be reunited with the love of his life. What I wasn't so impressed with was the fact that in the space of a single season, I had brought myself to like the mother (I mean let's face it... who didn't? She was perfect for Ted in every single way) and then, the producers took her away from us. It was like "Oh hey, we're going to make the mother perfect for Ted and then actually, no - Robin's the love of Ted's life". If I was a true romantic, I probably would've been quite stoked with the ending. But as it is, there was something with this ending that resonated with me personally, which left me a little unsettled.


... what if I'm the mother?
