Fairly new here, and have done lots of lurking.
My DS is 1.4 and is the first DGC for my folks. They have doted on him since before he was born and it is great that they clearly adore him....But, sometimes I feel that DM is a little 'too' involved.
Lots of calling him 'MY little man', crying when she doesn't see him because we were on holiday, posting constantly on Facebook about him and his progress.
Generally I can deal with this by reminding myself how she could be one of these toxic mums you read about on here, but recently she has been posting links on Facebook about how DGC was the missing link in her life and she was unfulfilled until he came along (this upsets me, what about her actual child?! Me!)
It was my 30th last month but it was barely registered by DM as she hadn't seen DGC in 2 weeks (they were on holiday this time) and when I jokingly said 'hey it was my birthday Monday do I get a card?' I was told (hopefully jokingly) that 'you don't count anymore now we have DGC'
Anyway, am I being unreasonable to be upset that I am made to feel like a surrogate that was expected to provide her with a DGC. Or should I just suck it up and except that my lovely DS has usurped me in her life and be glad she loves him soooo much??

AIBU?
To think this behaviour from DM is too much?
