I got pregnant two years ago at the age of 20 (not on purpose but am financially stable etc). My mother in law was quite a young mom and has a 22 year old and 25 year old. I told her I was pregnant, then 1 miscarriage and 6 months later she announces she is "accidentally pregnant" at the age of 45. I put accidentally in quotation marks as she keeps changing her story. We were calling our child Daisy which she then "got dibs on" by decorating the room and putting Daisy on the wall (luckily i had a boy but we did not know this). Now that we've both had our children (mine is 2, hers is nearly 2), she doesn't make an effort at all with him despite living 3 streets away. She gave him a pair of Daisys shoes for his birthday! She puts all this stuff on facebook about how great a grandparent she is when in fact she's seen him 4 times this year. Am i over reacting and being petty? I'm just beyond frustrated at how immature she is. She tries to act like a teenager by leaving her child with others and going clubbing every weekend. I just find her very pathetic and it just upsets me that she sees her friends children but not her own grandchild.
