And that`s how it came across here, this "I`m your mama, you respect me." No lady, you`re not. Just as with Missouri they`re adults and pretty much strangers to her. The points she made: we help you, we`re in this fight somewhat too, so we`re in danger too are valid and I was okay with her mentioning them but this "Mind your tongue boy" made me bristle.

That's a valid point, and I'd forgotten about Missouri. The show seems to determined to have older women treating him that way.

However--now that you've pointed out Missouri, I realized I see a vast difference in how Ellen treats him and how Missouri treats him. Ellen snapped at him because of something Dean said to her. Missouri snapped at him for something he hadn't done yet (putting his feet on her coffee table). The tone and delivery are completely different. If you watch each actress, it seems clear Ellen has a great affection for Dean. With Missouri I'm not sure--it could be sterness masking affection, or she's trying to respect his need not to be coddled (it's okay to coddle Sam. Sam can take Missouri's coddling). It could be Missouri simply doesn't like him for reasons of her own.

But I don't think Ellen's tone was particularly disrespectful. I think she probably talks to men older than her that way--look at her life and what she does. She runs the roadhouse, which is a haven. But in every other way, she treats Dean like someone she cares for like family, regardless of whether he returns that feeling.

I'm with you on everything else though :)
