My mother also comments on every post I make with what she thinks is a funny (but it isn't) joke, but she only checks every couple of weeks so she winds up forcing my old posts to the top of the timeline with her embarrassing comments. I cringe but bear it. I know you have it much worse.
+1, except my Mom thinks she's a social networking guru, so there's no way to gently explain to her any sort of etiquette. And she has friended all my friends. *sigh*

FWIW, my MIL is more annoying -- every time I post a picture of my child, she comments in all caps things like, "LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY BABY IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!" and "I MISS MY BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (who she saw on Saturday.)
I want to reply, "*Your* baby is not in this picture - he's currently on the toilet. And please stop shouting."
I'm not that much of an a-hole in real life but I want to be.
LOL at this one!
