Your mom is so sweet. What a supportive mom. You’re lucky to have her as your mom but she’s lucky to have you as her daughter as well. I bet she’s proud of you. :)

Your mum is golden ! She is so supporting and balanced! She does not complain but embraces what she has. She is beautiful!

Your Mom shows us all what true love should be. The world needs more open-minded folks than your mom.

What a liberal, loyal, open-minded, candid, warmhearted, and intelligent women! And what a loving mother! You must be the luckiest daughter on this planet to call such a wonderful woman your mother, Antoinette! I am jealous! No, I'm not - congratulations for having such a mom ❤️

What a lovely, positive woman. Thanks a lot for bringing your mum in front of the camera, we can learn so much from her :)

Really enjoyed this...made me cry a little....love your mum.....that’s how a mother should feel about her grown children....

Your mother is incredibly beautiful! She is also that sort of person that spreads a certain aura making everyone around her feeling comfortable :-)

You asked her 'what is the worst part of ME living in Germany' and all what she is thinking about is: SHE can't help YOU. I just broke in tears.. I know this too well also as an expat..

is it just me or does anyone else have the feeling to hug your mum, because she is such a beautiful person?

Her positive attitude makes me want to try harder not to be such a pessimist!! Thanks for her being in this video!

i am a strong big guy with a big beard and tough and all. seeing you cry while talking to your mom made me sheed a tear. i need to punch a wall now to feel manly again😂 this is worse than bambi or dumbo for me! you 2 are so lovely people and your mom is so open minded and absolutely big hearted. she is understanding things and people very well with her mindset. from watching the first few minutes i could already tell, she is very smart and clever and has an optimistic attitude. i loved watching this! have a nice weekend😘

This made me cry your Mom is such a lovely supportive lady :)

Your mum is such a lovely person, I love how POSITIVE she is and that she supports you 100%. I can see where you have your positive attitude from. Have a great time together!

It needs a strong, supportive mum, to encourage kids to not only leave home, but to leave it and settle in another country. It’s this feeling of being unconditionally loved, and supported, even when you are thousands of miles away. I especially loved to hear she worked/still work with children. She obviously did an excellent job on her own kids.

What a Kind and wise woman ♡

What a wonderful mom you have!!!

Your mom is so sweet!! You also look so much like her.

Deine Mutter ist super. Sie möchte nur das Beste für ihre Kinder und denkt nicht daran, dass sie alleine ist. Sie ist so eine sympathische Frau, die unbedingt noch mehr von Deutschland sehen muss. Du kannst so stolz auf eine so tolle Mum sein ❤️

Your mom is absolutely lovely!! I really like how down to earth she is. So calm and level headed when talking about you moving away and all that, you can tell in her heart all she ever wanted for you was for you to be happy, and I just love that 💜

Your mom has me in tears. Every child deserves this relationship with their mother

Your look was priceless when your mother stated she was was not sad when you told her you would stay longer in Germany than original thought, The mixture of "how sweet" and "What! Me leaving does not trouble you a little bit?!".

you can count yourself lucky to have such a wonderful loving mum. What a really nice and sympathetic person. thank you so much to have let us met her! have a good time together in germany and enjoy!

Reserved, private, orderly, and completely honest. I think it's genetic. I was the first Canadian child of German immigrants. One could argue these traits are mine because of the influence of German parents. But I see them sooo strongly in my daughter as well. One of my earliest memories is of my mother, writing letters to her mom back in Germany, on the tissue-thin blue airmail paper. And the letters that would come from my Oma on the same blue paper. Even mail was "expensive" back then, so tissue-thin paper weighed less and cost less to post. How lucky we are today with the technology to bridge the distance

Also eine Sache , wenn man euch beide nebeneinander sitzen sieht, kann man mit Sicherheit sagen: Du bist definitiv nicht adoptiert oder nach der Geburt im Krankenhaus vertauscht worden. ihr beide habt wirklich fast das selbe Kinn, den selben Mund, die selben Wangen und auch eurer beider Nasenrücken/Augenbrauen/Stirnpartie ähnelt sich sehr stark

Your Mom is wonderful. 💙

What a wonderful woman your mum is. You're really blessed with her. This is what love is about. To be happy if your beloved ones are happy. And to be interested in their lives. I mean really interested and not for the reason to judge. And how reflected you both are. It is amazing. It is so much better to have such intense quality time rather than living close to each other and take it for granted. But seeing what a warm and supportive woman she is, I totally get how hard it must be sometimes to live so far away from her. What a beautiful woman, inside and out. You've got good genes ;-) Love this video! Thank you for sharing this with us.

When you travel to other places in germany you should definitely come to the north visiting hamburg, lübeck and the north and baltic sea islands are also very beautiful

What a sweet and beautiful person your mom is. I’m so glad to hear how open she was/is to Germany and your decision to move there. I’ll be leaving for Germany permanently in a couple of days, and as much as my parents really like my German boyfriend, they’re not fans of me leaving. I hope one day they’ll be as open as your mum.

I instantly started to cry, when your mother said that she was happy when you extented your visa because things were going well withnrobert. That's the mother i want to be one day. Care for your children, love your children, prepare them for life and then let them go to live their own life 😙 and even if she is so far away, one can see that you have a great relationship 😍

Oh you both made me cry. You have a great mom! And she's doing so well on camera

Your mum is so sweet and so altruistic!♥️it made me cry because it reminded me of my mum who died 5 years ago when I turned 18. I wanted to go to new zealand for a year and she supported me so much but unfortunately didnt see me going anymore. you guys have such an amazing bound, lovely to see! Ganz viel Liebe aus Karlsruhe 💖

The German in "movies" is often not real. I'm a native speaker and I can definitely tell, sometimes they have Scandinavian actors or whatever pretending to speak German and it's just gibberish. Or people completely overpronounce everything. You can make any language sound harsh.

I loved this! Such a great relationship between you two. And I loved how when you said she never made you feel guilty for living there she said that's not a parent's job. I feel like parents often make grown kids feel guilty even after marriage. She seems so sweet and supportive. 😍

Great mum, great daughter & great family. Wow, I have lived here in Australia (originally from Berlin) for 37 years and my mum has visited me just twice, seemingly preferring to travel to other destinations! Thumb 707. Sorry only one thumb allowed here.

Your mum is so sweet and wholesome, not at all surprised seeing you and your family, it makes a lot of sense but so beautiful to see 🥰 She also seems very smart, open-minded and young-spirited!

Oma is such a nice person, with an open mind and clearly have your best interest in mind. Good for all family.

Your mom surely is one of the kindest people on the planet ... how adorable ... Greetings to NZ!!!

Both my parents (Italians) left their regions to settle down 1000 km away from their homes, in Tuscany where, I grew up. I live in Austria now. My daughter had a French boyfriend and stayed in France for a while and I did feel the distance. Now she is back and lives in the same town as me but even if I don't see her very often, I know I could meet her any time. That's quite a different feeling.

Your Mum is so sweet. I can see and feel the love and respect you two have for each other. I love hearing you two talking together. This has been a beautiful, relaxing video. Thank you so much for sharing. Tell your Mum I said Hi and best wishes to her. God bless.

Your mom is amazing! Such a rolemodel! I hope I manage to be just as supportive to my daughter!

What a lovely video. I think this might be the first time hearing an NZ accent that is not spoken by someone who has been living abroad for a while and watered it down for others to understand. I am also impressed you got her on camera, my parents don't want to do that :)

You have wonderful mom. So glad you shared this video. This reminds me of my daughter and me. She moved to Germany 5 years ago for love. Fortunately for her, she speaks German perfectly because I'm German living in the US for the past 30 years. Interestingly, she still had similar struggles regarding cultural differences that you had. The good part is that I can relate to her experiences since I went through the same thing many years ago. And your mother is so right when she says that the technology today is amazing and helping to keep in touch especially with the grandchildren.

That is a lovely mom if ever i've seen one.🥰 Made for a nice video. 👌 Give her a hug from me.😁

Five thumbs up for your mom, thank you!

Your mom is such a lovely person. Please give her a big hug from me ❤

Great video. Your mom is such a positive person. As an American I would love to hear her opinions of the USA and Americans since she visits your sister who lives in New York.

Heartwarming and touching seeing you with your beautiful mummy 💕💕💕 So sweet how you put your arm around her in the beginning, so encouraging and caring. Enjoy your time together!

Awww your Mum is so lovely x

Loved watching this video Antoinette, sending love from New Zealand 💕 #be grateful, great advice from your mum😊

Your Mom is just awesome I love her

Wir sind vor 6 Monaten nach Ostfriesland gezogen. Ich komme eigentlich aus Rheinland-Pfalz und lebte mit meinem Mann für 5 Jahre in Hannover. Für mich war die Umstellung von dem super freundlichen und offenen Südwestdeutschland auf das „nordische“ Hannover zuerst schwer und ich hatte Angst, dass der Umzug noch weiter nördlich auch schwer wird, aber hier sind alle so nett und offen. Fast wie Zuhause in Rheinland-Pfalz. Ihr müsst unbedingt mal Ostfriesland besuchen!

A great conversation. Thanks for sharing with us.

I had to cry all the time! How sweet you are! I wish, my mum would still live. Thank you so much for this great video!

Such a wonderful video! I really enjoyed watching this! Your mum seems so lovely 💗

Aww, your mom is such a lovely lady and wonderful parent.

Germany or especially Würzburg a fairytale? NZL is Middlearth! Such a beautiful country. Aoteaora. The country of the big white cloud. I will never forget the friendly Kiwis. And those awesome incredible landscapes. But I am happy for you that you had found your better half and have two beautiful children. I am a born German with a little bit of italian, celtic and easteuropean genes, and I am so happy that my husband, who is from Algeria, risked a travel to Germany. A year later (3.5 years ago) we have met. Well and now married. I am with your mum, no matter which country he could be, I still would have fallen head over heels. Greetings from Waiblingen, neighbour to Stuttgart!

Thank you. That was great.

I find your mom really sweet, I think she's a very kind and realistic person. Great video 👍
