Relationships
Family
Laverne Frensky
Laverne and Bubby have a good relationship, as they are mother and daughter. Bubby at times picks on her daughter (along with her son-in-law), saying that she hardly feeds Francine and Catherine, as well as when she says that their apartment is not clean.
Francine Frensky
Francine and Bubby get along well too, and Francine seems to be the person with the most interaction with Bubby. The two do many things together.
Oliver Frensky
Not much interaction is seen between Oliver and Bubby, but it can be (deeply) assumed that she loves him a lot.
Catherine Frensky
When Bubby arrived for Yom Kippur, she energetically embraced both Francine and Catherine and called then her "favorite grandchildren". She then told Catherine that, although she was turning into "such a beauty" that, "...blue really isn't your color, darling..."
