Everyone stating that she needs to mend the bridges…No you can absolutely remove toxic people from your life. It does not matter what relationship they “want” its about the impact on you or your family.

I’m kinda surprised at how no one seems to be suggesting the HUSBAND man up and confront HIS mother about this!

Start reporting all your kids photos on her page. Let fb know they aren’t hers. Then I would make a post CLEARLY stating she isn’t part of the kids lives and ANYONE caught sending her pics of your kids will get cut off as well for sharing your kids pictures without permission.

You have a mole in your family/friends. If you’re posting privately, someone on your friends list (or your husbands) is sharing the pictures with her. You need to figure out who that person is, and cut them out also. But yes, I would confront her about it. She’s not involved, she doesn’t need to be acting like she is.

Unblock her go on her page and report every pic of your daughter. She will have no choice but to take them down.

Wow, it is not your place to confront the mother in law. Talk to your husband. It is his place to confront his mother. Some relationships are irrevocably broken. Hopefully this one isnt. As far as posting pictures on social media, that is very dangerous to the child. Predators prey on children pictures. Very dangerous I personally would not let my husband not confront her. If just to not put your child in harm’s way like that. Maybe Grandma doesn’t understand the dangers of social media to children. But explaining that and having the pictures removed maybe what will heal the relationship. Be loving but stern. It may have to be you both talk to her together

As a GOOD person, I sometimes go long periods of time without seeing my grandkids because my daughter is a narcissist! When she gets into one of her moods, she hates me and won’t let me see my grandkids!!! Then she comes around and I see them twice a week!
The children are the ones who get hurt in the end of they know and are around the family members that they get pulled from. My 7 year old granddaughter tells me she doesn’t like it when mom gets mad because then she can’t come see me! So it hurts the kids.

How do you see that she posts them ? Assuming the same way she gets them. Reach out and see if she actually wants to meet them then re add her and tell the world about there first meet she will feel how you feel.
I had a really bad experience with my ex mother in law, & there were huge periods of non communication so Im assuming you have your reasons which is your right, just because someone is family doesnt mean they have a right to be in your life & if you dont see them having a positive impact on your kids lives than you dont have to allow them in theirs either! If it was me, I would probably comment on some of these posts with the real situation? Call her out on it, If she hasnt tried to reach out & possibly fix things I doubt that this is coming from a place of wanting to see her grandchild, its more likely coming from a place of wanting to be viewed by her peers as a good grandmother & if that gets ripped away from her publicly that may stop?
Go talk to your sheriff/PD and have her served with a cease and desist letter as it puts your children in danger, since you aren’t sure where else she could possibly be posting them if asking her nicely doesn’t work.
Report it to Facebook. Tell her to stop posting them. Put your kids pictures in a private folder for family only on Facebook. Then if she keeps getting them you’ll know it’s a family member giving them to her.
Then I’d talk to the family and help them understand that they aren’t helping the situation by violating your trust. And that the better option would be to encourage the mother to work on what caused the issue and reach out herself instead of stealing pictures you don’t want her to have

It is NOT OKAY to post pictures of SOMEONE ELSES KIDS WITHOUT THE PARENTS PERMISSION. No one cares if they’re related, they’re taking pictures of a minor and sharing it to strangers WITHOUT CONSENT.
Report all of those posts.

One of your friends with is her mutual friend. I have been dealing with this also. It was another family member friends with someone. It’s someone on your page who’s friends with her. Or someone giving them to her. I have been dealing with this crap also.
Let her post the pictures she is their grandmother. I’m surprised she has taken you to court for visitation. Your being very selfish and immature. OMO

- Have your husband talk to her.
- Unblock her
- Screenshot all the pictures of your daughter ( for proof )
- Report all the pictures ( not why your reporting )
- After your husband talks to you MIL and if she continues then take legal actions. ( that’s why you will use your screenshot as proof )
Those children are being used as pawns in adult problems. So wrong of that grandmother to use their pictures like that. Their dad needs to address it with his mom. The kids will suffer if the adults continue with the bad behavior.

I got lost with this sentence. We had our daughter 3 years this month.
Reach out and reconnect. Obviously, there is love there. Life is short. Your child deserves grandparents.
