my Mother in law, sees our kids about 4 times a year, even though she lives 3 miles away. She sees nephews all the time. But she now hasn’t seen my kids (10&8) since June 1st. She popped over to collect raffle prizes I had for her tombola she was asking for prizes for. That’s the last I heard from her.

I’ve just been on fb and she’s shared a pic I took and shared on fb myself today (so she’s re-shared it) of a picnic I took the kids on this morning. Que lots of comments on her pic “aw you’re such a great granny” “you do so much” etc etc.

I want to conment saying how she basically has nothing to do with our children and hasn’t seen them in months or offered help (even though she offers help to bil’s kids)

drives me mad!!!!

Comment! If you don't, you're enabling her behaviour and basically saying it's ok for her to ignore your kids

Agreed with PPs. I’d definitely have to post a reply on her comments, passive aggressive or not. Go on OP, do it, I dare you -lol- Put her in her place! As PP said, you’re letting her get away with it otherwise.

Put her on restricted so she can't see your posts or photos
