grandmother
A grandmother is the mother of your parent or a woman who has raised children as her own.
When people talk about their grandmothers, it's often because they're thinking about family and where they come from. Grandmothers are typically older relatives who take care of their grandchildren when their parents need to work or go out. They might spoil the kids with treats and stories, or teach them important life lessons like how to cook or garden. Some people even live with their grandmothers for a while if they're not feeling well or need a place to stay. Grandmothers often have lots of experience and knowledge to share, and many families are very close with theirs.
