Maddie

 Maddie is the mother/son shipping of Marissa Benson (Ma/rissa) and Freddie Benson (Fre/ddie). It can also be called Farissa.

Marissa is very overprotective of her son, which can drive him crazy, and once to the point of which he had to move out (iMove Out). But Freddie is fond of his mother and seems to enjoy her motherly ways.

This article is  strictly  to discuss the mother/son relationship of Marissa and Freddie, and not a romantic pairing of them.

Season 1 Moments
iWill Date Freddie- Mrs. Benson is desperate for Freddie to date someone, and tries to pressure Carly to date him.

iFence- Mrs. Benson is concerned when Freddie takes up fencing with Spencer. She eventually reveals that they come from a long line of fencers, and she herself had taken up the sport (because her father, one of The Fencin' Bensons, forced her) and became addicted to it. She initially forbids Freddie to fence, but then relents. At a fencing competition, Freddie's opponent, Doug Toder, proves to be no match for him, and when he cheats by pushing Freddie with his elbow, an angry Mrs. Benson takes him on herself, proving herself to be a skilled two-weapon fencer.

IMight Switch Schools- Freddie is terrified when he thinks that his mother is in the hospital after a terrible car accident. He only barely calms down when he learns that it was actually a ruse by Sam to get him out of class.



Season 2 Moments
iHurt Lewbert- When Freddie's mother takes care of Lewbert, Freddie feels happy to be independent. But after spending too much time with him, Freddie feels that she could start dating Lewbert, making him his father. When they do start dating, Freddie lets himself pretend to get hurt so his mother will focus on him again. Because Lewbert shows no sympathy for Freddie, Mrs. Benson dumps him.

iGo To Japan- Mrs. Benson initially refuses to allow Freddie to go on the trip, even after Spencer volunteers to chaperone the kids; she agrees, instead, to come along.

ILook Alike - Mrs. Benson refuses to let Freddie go to an MMA fight. When Sam says, "No offense, Freddie, but your mom is horrible!", Freddie sarcastically replies, ''"How could I be offended by that?" Later, when Sam calls Freddie's mother "freakish," Freddie asks, "What do you say about her when I'm NOT in the room?!"''
