I'm suddenly remembering an episode, I think from Season 32 (maybe, I wouldn't swear to it) where Maria's mom came to visit, but the Muppets kept taking up so much of her time that Maria was getting really sad about not being able to spend time with her own mother - whom she hasn't seen in years - because she's too busy playing with Big Bird and Elmo and the others.
