Despite this, she has been shown to also get angry at Greg at points (though always with her husband around) such as when he harms Rowley.

Appearance

Mrs. Jefferson is a tall and skinny woman who has average sized curly hair, she is mainly decipeted with a shirt and a very long skirt that goes to her feet. She wears a night gown while going to bed, as shown in Dog Days. In the first movie,she is played by Robert Capron's mother in real life, her appearance changed a little. She was overweight, and wore a necklace and an average sized skirt. She was replaced by Bronwen Smith in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (film) as Kaye was only hired for her dancing skills, as she was a self proclaimed not good actress.
