Anyone Else Have to Deal with FAKE BM's?

I'm so sick of my Pseudo-SS8 fake BM. She puts on such a damn show and I so badly want to call her out on it! Some examples:

Fake: Picture of her and her brat as her profile on FB.
Truth: It's 1 of ONLY 2 Pictures out of the hundreds she has on there of nothing but herself, drinking, scantily clad, partying.

Fake: Send text to DH to say "Tell my baby I love him and miss him!"
Truth: We've had him since last Friday and that text was first and only time she checked on him at all--that was sent on Wednesday! She didn't even get out of the truck to say goodbye to him when we met her. She rolled up, popped the trunk so DH could get his bags and she waved bye and left before we even got him situated in car.

Fake: Sends DH pictures of a dinner she's made with "look what my baby ate today!"
Truth: She cooks one meal a week and talks about it as if she June-freaking-Cleaver.

Fake: Sends pictures of him bowling at 'family night'. "My baby is doing it up!"
Truth: Family night is once a month at most and usually only before she is about to drop him off somewhere for extended time so she feels she spend a few hours with him is enough to make it okay that she doesn't spend time with him 80% of the time.

Fake: Stands on sideline at Soccer games yelling and cheering, fussing at Coach, giving him pointers when he comes to sideline, acting like she's the most invested soccer Mom in history.
Truth: She never takes him to a single practice, will miss a game all the way around if she has something better to do.

Fake: "I need a break from him; I'm just wore out".
Truth: She has 3-4 days a week now that we live 4 hrs away. The rest of the time he's here or at her Mothers (2hrs from her) or at friends or other relatives house. When he is with her, she picks him up from after school, stops and gets him a greasy meal from some fast food place, goes upstairs and gets on phone, be with her bf or go to sleep. He stays downstairs by himself for hours on end.

Can anyone relate? To the outside world she tries to look like the perfect Mother, so invested and caring and relentlessly caring for him. Truth is she does nothing but put on a mediocre show and now that he's older, he's starting to tell her as much. He told her she only thinks about herself, to which she punished him for a week. Then he told her she never spends any time with him to which she brushed off --and then took him to her Grandmothers & dropped him off for 5 days. Drives me nuts. One day I'm going to go off on her and let her know how transparent she is.

The best karma she's got coming will be delivered from the mouth of her son. She can play mother of the year all she wants, but when the kid is old enough to make choices and voice his distate for her, it will all come crumbling down.

So have your lawn chair and popcorn ready .. that will be one HELL of a show!
