Barbara Evans

Jenelle Evans' eldest son Jace -- who just celebrated his 12th birthday last week -- has been in the custody of his grandmother, Barbara Evans, since he was an infant.

Needless to say, at this point, Barbara is far more of a mother to the kid than Jenelle ever was or probably ever will be.

One of the few intelligent choices Jenelle Evans ever made was her decision to sign over custody of he eldest son, Jace, to her mother, Barbara Evans.

So of course, that's the one she most regrets.

If you keep up with the comings and goings of Jenelle Evans, then you probably know that she and her mom, good ol' Barbara, are not on good terms right now.

Like, at all.

Earlier this week, we reported on yet another deeply depressing situation in the life of former Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans.

It seems that Jenelle's 11-year-old son Jace may have set fire to his grandmother's carpet.

Over the course of her time on MTV, Jenelle Evans threatened and abused just about everyone she came across.

But if we had to guess, we'd say no one has received quite as much of Jenelle's wrath as her own mother, Barbara Evans.

It can be hard to keep up with everything that's going on in the life of Jenelle Evans.

On paper, it seems like her life should be pretty quiet these days:

Over the years, the Teen Mom franchise has given us quite a few memorable custody battles.

But most of the time, the war is fought between the kid's parents.

Obviously, MTV made the right decision when they fired Jenelle Evans from Teen Mom 2.

Jenelle is an abusive bigot who's almost certainly the worst person to ever gain long-term fame from a reality show, and any network that employs her is complicit in her atrocious bahavior.

The more things change, the more things...

... you know the rest of the saying, don't you?

In case you missed it, this past weekend saw a heated back-and-forth between Jenelle Evans and her famously cantankerous mom, Barbara.

It started when Jenelle claimed that she'd regained custody of Jace, her 11-year-old son who has been raised by Barbara since infancy.

Jenelle Evans will never be a favorite among Teen Mom 2 fans.

She's just given the people too much to hate over the course of her decade in the spotlight. 

Barbara Evans made $400,000 as a part-time cast member on Teen Mom last year.

In a new interview with Radar Online, the polarizing mother of Jenelle Evans has plenty to say about both her own daughter and also Amber Portwood, but we felt it necessary open with this revealing tidbit.

As you've likely heard by now, Jenelle Evans has lost custody of all of her children.

It was a long overdue development that happened both gradually and abruptly.

Jenelle Evans is officially doing all she can to earn her children back.

As just confirmed by The Hollywood Gossip, this polarizing MTV personality is headed to therapy and has agreed to take parenting courses -- whatever it takes to become a full-time mother again.

Barbara Evans clearly failed when it came to raising Jenelle Evans.

We're not saying the former is entirely to blame for the latter having experienced drug problems, legal issues and now an ongoing custody battle during her 27 years of existence.
