The sisters addressed Catherine as the one who requested it! They disclosed that Catherine regards herself as one of the sisters, but not as the girls' mother.
The sisters talked about how she enjoys hanging out with her children's friends, since she considers herself to be "cool" like them.
Gabriella Vigorito's sisters feel 'sMothered' star 'has some issues' due to close relationship with mother Catherine
Catherine has a really particular and deep bond with Gabriella, even if her ties with her other two kids, Lauren and Sophia, are unquestionably close. Catherine and her children have been wearing similar outfits since they were newborns.
Catherine would buy the same clothes for her three girls and herself, since it was convenient and "fun." While her children, Lauren and Sophia, did not appreciate looking the same as their mother, Gabriella did, and the inseparable pair still match and are the same size.
Lauren and Sophia explained how they grew out of the period in the teaser, but Gabriella did not. They believe this is causing some issues in Gabriella.
Gabriella, they feel, needs to be "her own person." All she has going on in her life right now is her job at a salon and preparing for pageants with her mother.

Catherine is more than Gabriella's mother. She also serves as her "idol." They like spending time together and even dress similarly.
"She's my mini-me," Catherine admits.
The girl with dark hair, Gabriella, doesn't only wish to resemble her mother. She aspires to do the same things she has accomplished. That's why she wants to win the Miss Connecticut USA pageant, just like Catherine did decades ago.
"Imagine growing up and your mom being Miss Connecticut USA," Gabriella explained. "Those are some shoes to fill."
When Gabriella hears her name called, she expects her mother to be immediately by her side.
"When I win, she's going to come up on the stage with her crown and sash," she remarked.
In Tuesday's preview clip, the mother-daughter go to a zoo to walk like flamingos and prepare for pageants. The duo remains unbothered as they walk the walk!
They both enjoy a "glamorous" style, usually coming out in identical outfits and shoes, and they both just appeared at New York Fashion Week.
When did 'sMothered's Catherine Galasso Vigorito win Miss USA Connecticut?
Catherine was crowned Miss USA Connecticut in 1988, a big achievement in her life. Catherine worked as an accounting professional for Clear Channel Radio for 12 years, demonstrating her devotion and work ethic.
She also gave her skills to the Full Power Radio Group. Catherine's goals, however, stretched beyond her radio career, prompting her to write her first book, "The Treasure of a New You: Transformation for Your Heart and Soul," which was released in 1998.
She went on to publish three additional books, the most recent of which was "The Open Window: 8 Weeks to Creating an Extraordinary Life" in 2012.
Season 5 of 'sMothered' airs on Tuesdays, on TLC at 10 pm ET.
