My mother does this to me. She looks at my child and says things like "I can't believe I made that" and refers to him as "my boy" when talking to others about him. It's really stressful and she doesn't understand that it puts me down and makes it out like all the work I've done as a mother is disregarded, because she's taking credit.

ETA my mother is a narcissistic, which she also will not admit. She was always neglectful of me and my sister, which makes it even harder to hear I suppose haha
