She Called Her Mom Out On Facebook For Always Favoring Her Brother’s Kids Over The Rest Of The Grandchildren, And Now Her Mom’s Refusing To Have A Relationship With Her Or Her Kids
This 31-year-old woman has three children– an 11-year-old son, a 7-year-old daughter, and a 1-month-old baby boy. Both her brother, who is 34, and her sister, who is 33, also have three kids each.
Yet, out of the nine grandchildren in their family, her mom always chooses to favor her brother’s kids.
According to her, birthdays and holidays are a “joke” for anyone but her brother’s children.
“His kids get better presents, and my mom is always, and I mean always, with his kids or talking about them,” she explained.
She has tried to talk to her mom about the favoritism, too. But, every time she brings it up, her mom either ignores her or accuses her of being crazy– telling her that she “needs help.”
However, after her mom recently posted on Facebook, the situation came to a head, and she finally spoke her mind online.
For some context, her mom always posts a birthday shoutout on Facebook for each of the grandchildren. So, for her daughter’s seventh birthday, her mom posted, “Happy birthday to my granddaughter, B.”
Yet, for her niece’s birthday just last week, her mom decided to both post a picture and include a loving caption– writing, “Happy birthday to my granddaughter P. Gaga loves you so much, my beautiful girl.”
Now, the blatant difference between her mom’s Facebook post for her daughter versus her brother’s daughter made her seriously upset.

“His kids always get big shoutouts on Facebook. The other grandkids don’t,” she said.
That’s why she finally decided to call her mom out for picking favorites on Facebook!
It actually took her mom three days to notice that she’d posted anything about the situation on the social platform. But then, once her mom realized what had happened, she was hit with four super long messages from her mom, who accused her of being a crazy lair.
“And my mom said she will no longer have a relationship with me or my kids until I get help, and a lot of other hurtful stuff that I will never forget,” she vented.
She thought that calling her mom out on Facebook was the only way to get through to her since trying to discuss the issue in private never seemed to work.
But now, with her mom so angry at her, she can’t help but wonder if accusing her mom of picking favorites on Facebook was really the wrong thing to do.
Can you understand why the favoritism really upsets her? At the same time, was it right to call her mom out online? What would you have done in her shoes?
