Jenelle took to her Instagram Story on Thursday to share a video of herself mouthing along to the lyrics of I Understood the Assignment by Tay Money.
Text onscreen read: “When your mom says ‘don’t talk to me’ so we haven’t talked in months…”
The Teen Mom 2 alum wore her hair in pigtails, while she sported a light pink bikini top in the video.
Jenelle has been open about her strained relationship with Barbara in the past, as many fans of the MTV show watched them fight over the custody of Jace.
ONGOING FEUD
Back in May, Jenelle exclusively told The Sun that the ongoing legal battle over her oldest son, who fans watched grow up on the show, has broken any chance of reconciling with her mom.
Jenelle said: “Things have been pretty rocky at her house with Jace for the past two years.
“There hasn’t been a major change. We agreed for Jace to live with me and she took back her word like a week later.”
She added that they are currently handling matters in court, sharing: “I am going through a custody battle with my mom now.”
Jenelle said of getting Jace back: “I think it’s just time.”
The 29-year-old mother of three also claimed Jace has had behavioral issues while living with Barbara.
The Sun previously reported that Jace allegedly started fires while in Barbara’s care.
BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS
According to Jenelle in the court filings, the 12-year-old allegedly burned Barbara’s carpet when he was angry.
When asked about the incidents specifically, Jenelle said: “I can’t really say too much, because of the pending court case. I will say that Jace wasn’t on his best behavior at my mom’s house, and that’s one of my big concerns right now, his behavior is just bad.
“I don’t know if it’s because he’s getting older and is becoming a rebellious teenager, but I know everything is fine at my house. He loves it here and he loves spending time with his siblings & spending time as a family.”
The TV personality added: “I think it’s time to just come here with the conflict going on at my mom’s house. It’s unnecessary for them to be together full time.”
Jenelle shares Jace with ex Andrew Lewis, while she is also the mother to son Kaiser, seven, with ex Nathan Griffith and daughter Ensley, four, with husband David Eason, 33.
