‘I feel like she humiliated me on social media’: Mother-in-law hijacks new mom’s heartfelt moment to declare grandmother supremacy, leaving the young mom sidelined and overshadowed

Titles are funny things. Give someone a title, and suddenly they think it's a personality trait. It's why people put "manager" in their LinkedIn bio and start calling themselves leaders, or why someone who wins a raffle once becomes walking four-leaf clover declaring he's the luckiest person alive. But nowhere is this title inflation more ridiculous than in families, where a nameplate like "grandma" somehow gets interpreted as superior to mere "mom," simply because of the word grand.  

Of course, raising a child isn't about titles, it's about actions. But try telling that to certain grandmas, who hear the news of a baby and immediately assume they've been promoted to CEO of the Family, bypassing Mom entirely. They'll buy the gifts you asked them not to, give the advice no one requested, and, at least once, drop a line about how their connection to the baby is deeper, more spiritual, and definitely freer from all those burdens moms have to deal with. 

Kind of like saying supervisor is higher ranking than CEO because the ladder is just three letters and the former has the word super in it.
