<Ul> <Li> Linda Belcher ( voiced by John Roberts ) -- Linda Belcher is Bob 's happy - go - lucky and supportive wife and the mother of Tina , Gene , and Louise . Prior to her marriage to Bob , she was engaged to Hugo , who is now a local health inspector ( `` Human Flesh '' ) . In the fifth - season episode `` Eat , Spray , Linda '' she turned forty - four years old . She has also referred to herself as a `` pre middle aged mother '' ( `` Lindapendent Woman '' ) Linda often calls her husband Bobby , and her attraction to Bob is in part due to his passion for his work , and also due to his `` Tom Selleckian '' mustache . She remains a loyal and devoted wife despite their frequent financial problems and never having had a honeymoon or a day off in 10 years ( `` Weekend at Mort 's '' ) . She has a preference for mustaches , and says Bob `` made himself ugly '' when he shaved it off ( `` Sheesh ! Cab , Bob ? '' ) . Her passions include singing , dinner theater , porcelain baby figurines , Tom Selleck , nautically themed romance novels , and prenatal yoga . She handles the accounting for the restaurant , though her bookkeeping methods are sometimes troublesome and overly complicated . She is fond of alcohol and is known to say that `` Mommy does n't get drunk ; she just has fun . '' Linda is extroverted , has a thick New Jersey accent , and is somewhat odd ; she is also fond of tackling problems using unconventional methods , though her methods are frequently over-optimistic and things sometimes go awry . She often encourages her kids to engage in behavior that Bob finds annoying , and though she wants what 's best for her kids , she tends to be scatter - brained . Bob has described her as a `` pushover '' because she allows people ( the kids ) to take advantage of her . She has a contentious relationship with Louise and often misunderstands her , even once organizing a slumber party for Louise against her will . She is a talented lyricist , as shown in `` Lil Hard Dad ; '' Gene may have inherited his musical predilection from her . She has tendency to spontaneously burst into song , a trait she shares with her voice actor John Roberts . Many of the songs she is known for are improvised by Roberts , including her `` Thanksgiving Song '' , `` Dish - a-Dee - Doo '' ( a jazzy ditty sung while washing the dishes , as seen in Mother Daughter Laser Razor ) , and a hair - brushing ditty that references the late Harry Truman . Her songs are frequently remade and set to music for the episode 's end credits . </Li> </Ul>
