December 15, 2009
It's a family affair today as we present the grandmoms of Momversation. Our panelists are used to baring their souls in print for the world to read, but what about their moms? Do they like how much their children share? Do they read their daughters' blogs? And how do the grandmoms feel about "mom bloggers" in general? Join Heather's, Jessica's, Daphne's, and Rebecca's moms as they hold their own Momversation.
Did your mother spend a lot of time conversing about different aspects of being a mom? And what do they think about today's mom bloggers? Join the Momversation by commenting below.

Children who are living with their grandparents because of parental addiction, neglect or abandonment bring a whole set of other problems to deal with. These kids are already programmed to deal with the negative environment they came from, and may not be ready to move into a family situation where there are boundaries and rules. What grandparents raising grandkids have to remember is, when your grandchildren move in with you, you are their new family.

I loved this collection of videos of the Grandmoms of Momversation. The resemblance of mothers and daughters was immediately recognized. Maybe you should have had a Mom / Grandmom puzzle before the video to see if we could match the blogger with her mother. It was great hearing from the mothers of these popular bloggers. As a grandmother myself with children from 30-13, I can certainly understand the joys of seeing your child do something that they love and do it well.

Wow! Maybe its the fact that I am adopted and look nothing like my mother, but wow... these women all look very much like their mothers!
Daphne has her mothers eyes, eyebrows and mouth. They look very similar.
Heather looks very much like her mother and they both make that sort of "smack" noise sometimes before they begin a sentence. lol
Jessica looks a lot like her mother, too!
But OH. MY. GOD. Rebecca and her mother are so much alike in so many ways it is almost like seeing the future Rebecca! The eyes, the shape of their faces, the shape of their mouths, their mannerisms and expressions. I'm almost not sure that ISN'T Rebecca made up by some incredible make-up artist, to LOOK like her mother! lol Absolutely uncanny!

thanks for this, because I was struck by how much all the momversation bloggers looked like their moms, but when it comes to me I thought, hmm guess I don't. Ha! Inside and out it's hard to see ourselves.

Watching the "Grandmoms of Momversation" reminds me it takes a strong woman to raise another strong woman.
Go Grandmoms!

This was wonderful. You're all the spitting images of your moms. I could really see through the mannerisms and just the general energy they gave off, where you all get it from. Awesome.
"First of all, let me tell you -- she exaggerates a lot." Love it. My mom is like that: ("Well, you know, I didn't actually make you run a MILE in the dark in the desert. It was more like half a mile. You should put that.")
It's so cool to have this as not only something your moms support, but as an extension of your special relationships. Love it.

Rebecca, you are the spitting image of your mom!
And you speak the same way too!
Definitely my favourite video so far :)

rebecca, your mother is resplendently gorgeous!

Oh wow! I loved loved this momversation! Can one of your moms adopt me, please? I think my mom is still at the point where she cares about what other people will think if they found out I was blogging - hope one day she will be able to say "and you know what? I realized I DIDN'T CARE!" just like Rebecca's mom (I want her hair, btw). And I love that Daphne's mom said she is stronger and braver because she is a mom to a blogger. Your mothers did a wonderful job and I love you all.

I agree, think they were all adorable. I loved that my mom said that. Of course she had already been through years of me being a stand up, so this way she hears stuff and doesn't hear laughter at the same time.

This is so unbearably cute! Go Moms, go! It makes me wonder what my Mom thinks of my blog... This might be my new favorite Momversation.

This is adorable. Your mothers are so proud of you and your accomplishments they're beaming. Very, very sweet.

This my favorite momversation so far, these moms are the coolest, so honest, thoughtful & supportive. A perfect post for this time of year! Listening to these moms gave me goosebumps, sort of like a Christmas spirit type feeling.

Omigod, HOW cute/cool to see everyone's mommies!!
I think Jessica's mom makes a really good point about how future generations (children and grandchildren) may not understand... but then to Rebecca's mom's point, "I don't care." I think there has to be a little nonchalance about life, because this world is not SO serious that we shouldn't be able to make some jokes about it, or put some of it out there for other people to identify with or whatever. And maybe future generations won't understand at first, but I'm sure as they grow and mature and find their own outlets (whatever those may be as technology and society evolve) they will.
Aww, Heather's mom (Avon World Sales Leader!) is so sincere when she talks about the postpartum time period, and how she sort of checked in on her daughter via her blog. That... really moved me to tears, actually.
