Lois Griffin is a modern day housewife who finds time to cook, clean, run errands, teach piano and avoid daily attemts on her life by her baby son, Stewie. Of course, a mother's love runs deep. So deep in this case, that Lois is blind to Stweie's Matricidal intentions, attributing his perpetual foul mood to plain old crankiness.
Born in upper crust Newport, Rhode Island, the one time heiress to the Pewterschmidt family estate gave up the priviledged life to be with the towel boy she fell in love with. She hasn't looked back since. No matter how many times Peter falls down, Lois is right there to pick him up again.
