Mom with baby rabies + passive aggressive social posts

Honestly, if either of us had siblings with kids it’d probably be a hard no from me.

The it should still be a hard no from you. You have no obligation to make your mom a grandmother.

If I were in your shoes I would let her know that you are not going to engage her in any conversation about grandbabies. If it comes up in a call, you will say goodbye and hang up the phone. If it happens in person you leave (unless she is at your place obviously). If she does it at your place respectfully ask her to change the subject. If she keeps on that topic refuse to engage and say random stuff to change the topic.

Mom: I just don't understand why talking about your my future grandbabies is such a big deal.

OP: I saw this neat documentary the other night on Netflix about the birds of paradise.

Mom: Stop your blathering. I want to talk about you making me a grandmother.

OP: I'm not sure I would want to drink Kopi Luwak. I hear they use caged civets and force feed them the coffee beans. I might try a cup of free range Kopi Luwak if the opportunity ever presented itself.

Eventually she will get flustered and either get off the topic or storm out. She will not be allowed back in your home until she agrees the topic of HER GRANDBABIES is off limits. Basically just drop the rope and stop engaging in any conversations on the topic.
