It's kinda sick when parents feel in competition of their own children. Clearly these are people who should not be parents in the first place. Congrats on the babies OP. Try not to mind your mother, she just embarrassed herself.

She could always get attention by being the lovable grandmother. Instead she decided to pull an immature stunt that is likely not even within her capabilities at that age? At 55 most women have already gone through menopause. Did anyone honestly believe her? I would say FYL OP, but you have two new twins so I think that point would be moot :) congrats on the babies!

give her more attention!

That's... sad of her.

Seems like a very transparent plan, she's too old to get pregnant...

Your mother didn't get enough attention as a child.

If I got pregnant at 55 I would crawl into a fetal positing under my bed and cry. That is just too old to be a mom of a newborn!

She sounds like an attention seeking bitch so don't let her see her grandchildren until she apologizes.

Did she actually go into a biological fake pregnancy, or did she just say she was pregnant and act like a pregnant woman?

my mil tried to up stage me by suddenly 2 weeks before i was due starting a huge fight and trying to make herself the victim. fortunately my husband took my side and told her to shut up. some people just can't handle no longer being in the spot light
