She “says” i am her daughter and she loves me. but her actions say otherwise. She is fake nice. She told me she was fine with being called “grandma” (first time grandma) by my son, and now that she hears his other grandma being called “mamaw” she calls herself BOTH grandma AND mamaw to him. Then I remind her that he has a mamaw already and that they each have their own special name, and she replies “yes i knew that” ? She also told me once, that the baby (he is only 6 months old yet) will call her whatever he wants when hes older. But he will have to be taught what to call her and as his mother, will I not be the one teaching? She lives 18 hours away BTW.
Another thing that baffles me, is my husband has lived in FL with me for 10 years, away from her. So I understand when his job took him home for 2 days, to stay at her home, she was very excited! I was SO happy for her! But it was like she wanted to rub it into my face the entire time. All alone, I was happy he was there, why rub that in? The very few times he could call me (short and sweet calls, as I wanted him to spend time with his mom) she talked loudly right next to him and even grabbed the phone once and said “hiiii” in an obnoxious tone. He told me once he was back here, that she would run into the room and just stand there whenever she even thought he might be on the phone with me. (he was on business a lot) She also ignored ALL my texts while he was there. I sent her pics of her grandson and everything, no reply. She always replies to my tetxs! But not while he was there, even when he was at work. And once he was back home, she was back to texting me again.
Why do this, when she knew he was coming back to me after 2 days? Where he has been for 10 years (and married 13 years.) I just don’t understand. If she wants me to be like a daughter, why does she do these things?
