Barbara 'Babs' Pewterschmidt (nee Hebrewberg) is Lois's mother and wife of Carter Pewterschmidt. She and Carter are very wealthy.
Barbara was a Jewish holocaust survivor. When she married Carter, she had to hide her religion, so that Carter could get into country clubs.
She once had an affair with Jackie Gleason, which traumatized their son, Patrick. Also, in Peterotica, she left her husband when he was broke and went to Ted Turner, only to take his money and get rich again later on. She got back with Carter right after.
Both Carter and Barbara Pewterschmidt apparently have an addiction to sleeping pills and alcohol. They have an open marriage since Carter only married Barbara for the money.
She appears to be somewhere around the age of 65. She is most likely younger than her husband because her hair still appears relatively black, while Carter's hair is fully grayed, although it is also possible Barbara, unlike Carter, colors her hair to hide graying. Barbara seems to be the only one of Chris, Meg, and Stewie's grandparents who actually notices them.
In one episode, Barbara is called upon by Lois and Peter for a favor. Lois then asks Barbara to have sex with Peter, which she readily accepts because she says her husband hasn't looked at her for a month which shows Barbara and Carter don't really love each other and have not made love in a long time. However, Peter cannot go through with the plan, even though it originally was his idea.
