Boyfriends mother is insane?

My new boyfriend's mother is heavily invested in his life. He's 29 years old, is the eldest son out of 3 brothers. While I found it endearing first, it is now becoming a bit annoying.

My boyfriend mentions his mother a lot, frequently bringing her up in his conversations. He tells her EVERYTHING. If he has a new phone, shirt, bag, she's aware of it. She knows about his friends. Even girlfriends. I have seen my boyfriend's ex girlfriend in his mother's friend list on Facebook. He dated another girl for a while prior and that girl was also followed by her on Instagram.

He wrote a research paper and in the acknowledgements, he credited her for proof reading and support.

His mom is the same. Her active engagement is evident through her online presence, as she follows social media pages related to my boyfriends various academic and professional endeavors. From following pages associated with his UK university to those linked with an NGO he previously worked for, to even commenting on one of the pages and signing off as "X's mom xoxo".

Recently, she has followed pages related to the one of the causes he's aligned with and student workers groups he's joined at his new UK university. She has followed 5 pages of those organisations, all if which he told her about.

I find it incredibly odd as she doesn't have such a heavy investment in his siblings life. She practically has little to no engagement with them except following his 2nd siblings ex girlfriend, who was their childhood friend. It's just my boyfriend whom she is so invested in.

The father seems to have no hold or place in their life as he is barely ever mentioned.

I don't know but I find this level of investment quite unsettling and I feel like this woman would compete for attention if he starts giving another woman more attention than her.

What do you think?
