More of a rant but
I have a beautiful boy already he's four and starts prep next year and I'm pregnant with my second. The age gap is scary. But my mother whom I live with doesn't at all seem interested in my new baby. she says things like she will take my son so I can look after the baby. I'm a single mum and have raised my son. Yes she's helped a lot but he's still my son. Whenever I suggest to her I'm moving out and I'm taking my son it blows up. I try and discipline him as he is my son, and she just goes behind my back. I say no she says yes. How on earth am I going to make my son see I'm the parent. He listens to me no one else?? Is it just me over reacting or does my mum have a point. In the past I have been super lazy and barely did anything, but now I cook and clean everyday. I feel I'm ready to move out but my mother has doubts about it. Especially with me keeping up with the household cleaning with two kids. We rarely fight because I bite my tounge but it's becoming so hard to he a parent when she's doubting me or undoing you could call it everything I'm trying to teach my son!!!
Sorry it's long!
Am i over reacting?

Move out! This stuff is bound to happen when you don't stand on your own two feet. Get your own place. If you are old enough to have and make two babies you are old enough to look after them on your own and move out. You can't expect your mum to feel any other way while you are living under her roof.
IT's time to move on to your own place. Your rules, your domain. It'll be hard, but worth it.
Try move out, you can do it & it wont always be easy but totally worth it. Your mum will get used to it as well.
Move out. Dont threaten it, just do it because it's right and it's time.
Hey, firstly I want to say well done for being so honest about not always having it right and good on you for picking up your game. Sure your mum will miss your boy but move out, and when things get hard, take a breath, pick yourself up again and prove her wrong. ? it will be okay and I'm sure you are very capable, look how far you have come! Keep your mum in your life, reassure her and thank her for what she has done and let her know you want her in your children's lives and yours because she is important. This will not only help you with support but also help her to react better, dramas help no one. Good luck! God Bless xx
She's controlling you. Get out.
