Alongside the post, Jenelle shared a Boomerang clip of herself smiling at the camera while resting her chin in her hand.

The mom-of-three has endured a turbulent few weeks battling over who is the primary guardian of her eldest child Jace, 11.

Last week, she claimed Barbara has "blocked" her and taken Jace back to her home, after the youngster stayed with Jenelle for several weeks.

"I'm pretty mad right now. I'm pretty pissed off... Jace was living with me the past week, and now circumstances have changed. Why have they changed- because my mom can't put down her pride," she said on YouTube.

"Jace was with me the past week because of his behavior. My mom and Jace are not safe around each other," she went on.

"What hurts the most is that this is my own mother doing this to me. I had Jace for a week and a half, two weeks, and then boom, he's f**king gone again - taken right from me by my mom for no f**king reason. Our relationship is ruined. Shows my mom's true colors doing this."

Jenelle had Jace when she was just 17, and Barbara took over custody of him while Jenelle battled heroin addiction and several arrests.

Their feud sparked up earlier this month, when Jenelle claimed she has finally regained custody of Jace.

Barbara hit back at Jenelle's claims, telling TMZ her daughter "misspoke" and that the youngster goes back and forth between their two homes.

Jenelle then claimed she shares custody of Jace with Barb, because her mother is "fed up" of him "misbehaving".

"Jace has come to live with us, you guys! I know, it's exciting news," she said in a YouTube video.

"His behavior wasn't the best at my mom's house. We gave him many, many, many chances and told him he better behave, and my mom, she was fed up."

Jenelle continued: "And she called me and she said, 'Yeah, that's it.

"He's misbehaving again. I don't know how he's going to do his schoolwork and pass if he keeps it up.'"

"So let me explain this. Me and my mom have split custody until we go to court and change the paperwork," she said.

The Sun can confirm there have been no changes to the custody arrangement in court.

The Teen Mom star then accused Barbara of "lying" to her when she was a teen by saying she could have custody of Jace when she got older.

In a TikTok clip, the MTV star jumped on the "Biggest lie your parents ever told you," trend.

"Oh, I'll give you custody back when you get older," she told the camera, while mimicking Barb's voice.
