Has Emma made mistakes? Totally. But a bad Mom she is not. Regina, Cora, Milah, Jiminy's mom, Arthur's mom. and several others sre worse. You know whose Mom I wanna meet? Rumple's mom. She gave birth to one awesome dude, Anti-hero, villian, whatev role he plays.

Based on the flashbacks to when Rumple and Malcolm it appears Rumple's mom was not in his life starting at a young age so I don't see how she would be important story-wise. Also there is enough of people living 100's of years without needing another, its like dying of old age isn't even a factor in this universe/realms. The only characters that biological age is the same as their physical age are Emma, Henry, and sometimes August when he is not changed into the boy version of Pinocchio.
