The mother of one daughter, [[Erin Chambers|Erin]], Rita has had a long succession of boyfriends and possibly husbands. She's infamous for picking some really dodgy ones, like a man named Bruno who was in a "federal facility" for an unmentioned crime, and annoying men like [[Paul Meyerson]]. One boyfriend, Brian, was killed in a skydiving accident, but in "I Don't" she showed no reaction to tasteless jokes being made about his demise. In [http://www.mtv.com/onair/daria/chapter2/tangle.jhtml the MTV flipbook "It Takes Two to Tangle" ], it was written that she went out with Meyerson ''because'' he was so dull and pathetic, in reaction to the more adventurous Brian being killed - "her previous boyfriend was killed in a drop; she overcompensated by dating a drip." |

In "I Don't", Rita snaps at Helen "so I should be punished forever because I made a few bad decisions?". This may or may not refer to her love life. |

We know Rita doesn't work. Her source of income is not said, but it's implied she gets quite a bit from her mother: Mrs Barksdale covered Erin's wedding, and in "[[A Tree Grows in Lawndale]]" she's paying for Rita's new family room. |
