I had to think about this for a bit, mostly because I couldn't figure out why the mommy!kink made me feel weird but some of the daddy!kink I've read didn't do the same thing. I was wondering if it was a Freudian thing. I've figured out, though that it's because the daddy!kink doesn't attract me so much as the D/s that seems to show up in daddy!kink. In your piece, there's no D/s. I can definitely see how you've eroticized Joyce-as-Mother and that's what makes me feel weird. I can't shake this internal compartmentalization that wants to put "Mother" and "Sexual Being" into two separate boxes. This might be because my own parents frowned upon PDAs so I never really saw them as sexual creatures, despite the fact that my birth would indicate that they did have sex. *thinks* I don't think I've ever seen them kiss.... Huh.
Anyway, I think the weirdness also comes with Willow being in the picture. Willow is Joyce's pseudo-daughter, whereas Tara isn't as closely connected to Joyce-as-Mother. Did that make any sense? Tara was brought into the fold much later on in the show whereas Willow was fed cookies and milk during high school. It's... bizarre.
Thank goodness you're a good writer. If you were a bad writer, I probably would have dismissed this weird feeling I'm getting as something induced by your inability to write decently instead of a real psychological phenomenon I can poke at in my spare time. *poke poke poke*
