When the show premiered in 2019, mother Dawn and daughter Cher became quick favorites.
Nothing is off the table in their relationship that resembles more a best-friendship than a standard adult mother-and-daughter relationship.
Over the show’s last few seasons, Dawn and Cher’s lives have gone through serious transformations.
You two are veterans on the show now, and everyone knows how close you two are.
Do you ever feel like you two have to set boundaries since you both have your own families?
Cher Hubsher:The boundaries come from the phone calls.
Sometimes, my mom will call me all the time, or vice versa.
She knows I’m like, “[my husband] Jared’s home.”
She knows to step back; we’ve had that conversation.
But sometimes it’s hard.
It definitely is tough.
Dawn Hubsher:It’s funny because when Cher calls, I pick it up immediately.
Dawn:Well, in my opinion, I feel like they don’t know the true us.
They’re not in our lives every day.
Hopefully, they can take the positive from it.
Now, it really doesn’t bother me.
When she was born, how did your relationship with your mother change?
I love the relationship that I have with my mom.
I always feel like I can come to her with anything.
She’s always on my side.
She’s my biggest number one fan, my biggest supporter.
I really hope that I can have that with Belle.
I want to always be there for her, and I will always be there for her.
I love how close we are because I feel so comfortable speaking with my mom about anything.
If something’s bothering me, I know I can always come to my mom.
I love our relationship, and I hope that I can replicate that with my daughter in our way.
I know she will.
It’s so nice having Cher come to me for things, then ask me.
I’ve been there, done that.
It brings us closer because it brings us to another level.
Now, we’re discussing motherhood things, which we didn’t get to discuss before.
Sometimes it gets her into trouble, and we’ll see that on this upcoming season.
Sometimes it’s hard because I’m very an open book and I say my opinion.
Cher:That’s a good question.
Is there anything, Mom, that you think?
Dawn:Well, we get so used to the cameras, we forget the cameras are around.
We’re ourselves during it, but we always sometimes wish “They should have captured that also.”
You see more of the dramatic moments in our life, like giving birth and all of that.
We talk about everything together on this podcast.
We wrote a book together and we do our TikToks together and our YouTube [channel] together.
I wish people got to see more of that side of us.
What’s your message, or what do you want people to feel?
Dawn:Every mother and daughter can have a bond of their own.
It doesn’t have to be our bond.
They can have their own special connection and closeness.
There’s nothing like having that special closeness with your mother because your mother knows you.
Who knows how your heart beat from the inside?
It’s that special closeness that every mother and daughter should experience.
It doesn’t have to be like ours.
I know even watching the coming attractions, people will comment.
That’s too much," but we had so much fun.
[For example], my mom loves to work out.
I was like, “This is the perfect person to go do this with.
She loves to work out.
It is such a workout, but it’s also fun.”
I was commenting on her, like, “Look at that butt.”
People are like, “That’s weird.
That’s too much.”
It’ll make you both a lot happier.
Cher:I am so excited about Season 4.
I’m blown away with the casting.
All the mothers and daughters are so close, but they have such unique relationships.
I’m very excited to see that and to be able to relate to that as well.
Dawn:It’s nice to see all different kinds of bonds with each mother and daughter.
You both already have so many impressive accomplishments under your belt.
Cher:Season 2 of our podcast is coming out soon.
We’re so excited about that it’s called “Chattermouth.”
Basically, it’s a mother-daughter podcast where we talk about everything and anything.
That’s super special and something we’re very passionate about.
We do have something else very exciting coming up, but I’m not allowed to say it yet.
I would tell people to follow our Instagram accounts to learn more and our TikToks.
We love making TikToks together.
Every time we’re together, we have so much fun creating content because it’s fun.
We love to laugh.
Season 4 of “sMothered” premieres on TLC on August 8, at 9:00 p.m.
