Mrs. Grouch is Oscar's mother. She has visited Sesame Street various times over the years, including a 1993 episode to make sure that her son is still grouchy and hasn't been turned nice by the other residents. That same year, she also appeared in the special Sesame Street Stays Up Late, communicating by phone with her son and other relatives.
Mrs. Grouch lives in Illinois. She was the one who gave Oscar his present as a baby, as Oscar described in "I Love Trash." Her name is mentioned in Sesame Street Magazine issue 249 (November 1995).
According to a talk show appearance on Canadian radio, Oscar's father is from St. David's Ridge, New Brunswick and his mother grew up in Nova Scotia. St. David's is near Moores Mills, a community also mentioned in the appearance.
