My mother knows I hate Facebook. I'm not on social media for like 10 years. I only use reddit. I come from a small town and currently live in another province, a 5hrs flight away. She is friends with everyone and anyone on FB. People who works at the convenience store, old highschool friends of mine who I haven't spoke for decades etc l.

This is my third pregnancy. My two previous ones were shared to her in the end state with clause that I don't want her to share the news except with her siblings. This pregnancy, she found out early because she was hospitalized and we wanted to make the trip to visit her but couldn't because of COVID-19 rules.

She did not visit us since 2017 but went to Mexico resorts multiple times since. Wtv, it's her life. She never met my youngest one and declined to see her on FaceTime eat her first meal and said "Eww. I'm about to go eat and don't want to spoil my appetite" She never congratulated me for my marriage or my house purchase. All she said was "it's expensive, how are you gonna do it?" She was also against me having another baby and wanted me to go back to work and dump my youngest in daycare.

Fast forward to yesterday, a person from my past who I still speak to once in a while congratulated me for having a baby girl. My first reaction was to ask if she saw it on my mom's fb. She said that she did and she knows I don't like that so she told me.

I texted my mom very nicely asking to not share anything about my life as I don't like random people to know about it. Her three texts are:

What are you talking about? I'm just proud to be a grandma again! Oh. you must be feeling good for telling me off. Have a good day.

She is just proud to have people liking her status. That's it. I'm really upset and feel so disrespected. I don't even consider her as a grandma. She barely held my first one and complained that she was too heavy. She calls herself a grandma because she sends a gift to them on birthday and Christmas. That's all. Sorry for the rant. I'm so done.
