[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a wonderful grandma. Beautiful and generous. Don't be jelly.[/quote]
She is wonderful, and I posted this out of concern for her. I was wondering if something was off with her.[/quote]

If she’s so wonderful you wouldn’t post here and ask her. [/quote]

I didn’t ask her because that might be considered rude, and I don’t know how she would react to that. I just posted here to get some ideas to figure out whether this is typical or not.[/quote]

What does her son think?[/quote]

That's what I was going to ask.  Because I don't know that we can tell you what's abnormal or not, because we don't know her baseline like you would.  What's out of character for one grandma isn't necessarily for another.

My mom is older than your MIL but we have also reached a point where I need to tell her something 5 times and she still may not absorb what I'm saying.  I think you have to pick your battles- social media is one I'd put my foot down on, but I wouldn't dictate whether she can buy him toys or not, so long as they are safe/age-appropriate.  But clearly there are too many "rules" you expect her to follow, and she can't.[/quote]
