[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don’t understand why anyone would care if MIL does this. I would be *delighted* be left out of frequent, long and/ or annoying extended family threads - even if they are saying nice things about my kids. [/quote]

Because it’s weird to be pressed for information about your kids only to have it be used as a narcissistic supply for an attention seeking person. She isn’t including OP or the kids because it’s about her receiving attention and praise. She probably also embellishes from time to time to amp up the praise and doesn’t want to be corrected.

MIL sees (insert whatever) as my accomplishment as a grandmother, look I’ve got a better grandchild than you. She isn’t celebrating the accomplishment of or for the actual child. She cuts the kid who did whatever and the parent out of the picture.

Classic competitive and narcissistic granny behavior. [/quote]

Look, it's all gross and narcissistic. Nobody really cares about your kid/grandkid's minor accomplishments. [/quote]

I don't overshare every thing my kids do but the op described some big accomplishment by her daughter [/quote]
