My own mother

I feel like my mother, who has all her own narcissistic issues to begin with. I’m pretty sure is now using my nicu son (grand baby) for attention. And it’s starting to make me uncomfortable… She lied to me about having a head cold the week before meeting him. She insisted on coming to the hospital nicu to meet him. And while holding him, tells me this. I’m just like 😳 are you kidding me?! Well do not put your face anywhere near his. And please give him back to me. Cool. Fine. I’ve seen a lot of grandparents crossing those line recently. Sure I’m pissed she left it out/lied. But whatever What’s really got me feeling oddly is, She made me take a picture of her holding him before this happened. That she made her profile picture, sure, cute. Sweet. Gigi as she so commanded to be called loves her grandbaby. But, the people commenting on it? I don’t know AT ALL. Like not even slightly. Yet, some of them are saying things like I can’t wait to meet him! And such like that. And I’m sitting here like… excuse me? Who are you? And why would you be meeting my child? Is this just over protectiveness kicking in or something? Or is this also actually weird…

No this is actually weird. I would tell your mom how you feel and set boundaries. Overstepping parents are the worst

I wouldn’t think this is weird as they are more than likely believing that they will meet your son someday while with your mom. If this is a problem for you then I would start discussing your boundaries with her now rather than later.

My husband's grandma is the same. Her gross behavior on social media actually made me sure that I was done with it! No more FB for me, i don't need that weird attention! I guess some people do though 🤷‍♀️

It is weird and completely out of line for the grandparent to not correct people. My grandmother wanted to post a pic of my baby but decided against it when I said I am keeping it on the down low because my ex is denying paternity. Your mom is way over stepping and needs to be told you’re not comfortable with your baby meeting people you don’t even know. If there is any pushback from her then it’s supervised time and she wouldn’t be left alone with the baby if it was me.
