<P> Rochelle ( played by Tichina Arnold ) is Julius ' strict , humorously cheeky wife and is the mother of Chris , Tonya , and Drew . She is an assertive woman who frequently becomes apprehensive over things that often have nothing to do with the current subject matter ( such as Tonya becoming pregnant or her kids selling drugs ) . She is noted for the saucy comebacks that she uses to put a stop to any complaints that her children might have . She uses the comebacks to ensure that they do not end up performing a crime or great misdeed of some sort ; she also fears that they may wind up as street criminals . The narrator describes her as a `` Ghetto Snob '' , likely because of her cautious behavior towards the way her family is perceived in public . She shares loving moments with her children , showing that her true intentions for her assertive ways are sincerely because she cares for them . She also has a passion for chocolate Turtles , which often calm her , and experiences symptoms of withdrawal whenever she must sacrifice them for whatever reason . She is also noted for having to get jobs , and then quitting her job whenever she has a problem with it . Rochelle 's famous catchphrase that refers to this running gag is : `` I do n't need this , my man has two jobs ! '' This expresses her using Julius ' having two jobs as an excuse to quit her job and be comfortable at home . She is very judgemental towards Julius when it comes to their marriage . This can be seen in the episodes where she starts to think that Julius will leave her for a white woman or finds something which leads her to believe that Julius is having an affair . She sometimes disagrees to Julius ' methods about being cheap , like when they celebrated Kwanza instead of Christmas . Julius believes that this method is an effective way to save money for more important things rather than materialistic items . There are times where Rochelle understands Julius ' behavior , like in the episode where he got a second job in order to earn more money for the family . However , Rochelle eventually developed second thoughts about the situation , for she believed that Julius was actually throwing money away . In the final season of the series , Rochelle works as a beautician at Nessa 's Beauty Salon , where in previous seasons she would often get her hair done . She also shared gossip with her friend and owner of the salon , Vanessa ( Jackee Harry ) and other workers of the salon . Another running gag about her is that she regularly threatens her children with physical violence but does not hit them . It is only when she takes them into a room saying `` we need to talk '' when she smacks them . </P>
