Though I'm yet to confront my wife on this as I need to gauge public comment if this act of her is tenable. This is how it goes.
My mum called me last week to know how we were doing( myself, my wife and our children). In such greetings, she will pray for us on the phone and wish us well. However, she told me she has been calling my wife's line for a couple of days but the number always returned busy. I never attached importance to this cos I thought it could be network issue. This week again, she called me to extend her greetings and told me to inform my wife that she has been trying to reach her on phone but her number is busy.
I was curious and wanted to know what actually happened. Around 10pm yesternight, my wife gave me her phone to charge for her as she was already feeling dizzy. I collected the phone and remembered what my mum told me. I went to check if my mum number was blacklisted on her phone, alas, my mum's number was actually blacklisted. I can't really comprehend why she would do such. I'm so disappointed in her for what she did. I had to snap the blacklisted part in case she wants to deny it if I eventually confront her. My mum is not the troublesome type, very calm and kind.
I dont know if I should confront her on this or I should keep it within myself. I can never think of doing such to her own parents.
Has anyone experience this before?

Calm down and ask her first before you take any action ... sometimes it happens, u can mistakenly place a person's number on blacklist and still don't know for a long time ..
It's normal with my Dad, he does that a lot and then he will call me and be like "please check my phone, I think it's having problem, people are finding it hard to connect with me "
So just chill and ask her first

Fear woman I repeat run from woman they know themselves. Singing woman na him dey kill man ooo maybe your mother they tell her don't kill my son for me ooo because thats what they all end up doing.. only red pillers will understand what I say

Hmmn.

You live with your wife but feel a faceless forum like Nairaland should give you directions on how to resolve such an issue in your marital life?

It seems you are eager to have your wife being insulted here (if the story is true) even by folks who are not on speaking terms with their own parents nor siblings.

What has stopped you from raising it up with your wife, the very next morning since you already have the screenshot of the blacklisting to know the issue(s) if any, that led to the blocking?

Probably, you are itching to be told your wife hates your mother!

You made a nice point chief...
But I doubt that's the case...
No offense sir, but your dad is just like my dad and is "old fashion", the only thing that man knew is to call, message and read news finish, every other thing is stress to him ...
But I seriously doubt OP's wife is that "old fashioned"...

OP...
I think you should confront your wife...
Don't give her the impression that you know that she blacklisted your mum, cause she may misunderstand you and accuse you of going through her phone, and thus that could result in another issue ...

Just tell her "babe, is there a possibility that you mistakenly blacklisted/blocked mummy's number, cause she's being complaining of not being able to reach out to you for a while now", if she says no, then say "could I just check your phone to be sure?".... Her response after that will enable you know whether or not she did it on purpose,then you will know what to do from there....

Good luck Chief....

Calm down Mr man and ask her why her number is not going through for your mum for some weeks now and hear her response,to determine you next step..

Let's assume she indeed intentionally blacklisted your mother, what do you intend to do to her and your marriage?

It could be a mistake from her withiout knowing. Just ask her why she did so, if the response sounds intentional, then you should know what to do.

When a blacklisted number calls, you actually get the notification so there's no way your wife can play ignorant on this. You should have checked to confirm. However, this sort of issue could be resolved without necessarily coming online.

Just remove it from blacklist and tell her, your mum said she has been trying to reach her for some time now.

block her siblings & parents . even blacklist your wife's number too

You haven't confronted ur wife that you are seeing physically everyday but you jump to online to report.

How did you feel doing that? I guess you want to applaud and trophy from unseen friends and foes on faceless forum

Lol..... wahala no dey finish!

Some here are not married and will likely give you useless advice.

Listen, your mom might have been blocked for being over caring. If she calls your wife too often due to her care and love, your wife might not like it. She may take it as disturbance.

As a married man, discuss your discovery with your wife first. Ask her why she blacklisted your mom's number. If she tells you the reason, reason together. If she denies it, ask her to remove your mom from being blacklisted.

Not talking isn't good. It will make you unhappy, make her untrustworthy and she may not even know what she has done. Talk to her about it immediately so you can move on. There are many things in Nigeria that can make you happy. Don't make yourself unhappy.

This is the kind of situation that brews Cold war @ home.... I believe you told her that your mother has been calling.. so what was her response on why her phone was not reachable?....

If I was to be in your shoes, I will just ignore it... That's her phone and she can do whatever she wants with it... It's not enough for misunderstanding buddy..

[/b]But I will not forget to block her father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, sisters, brothers even their chickens.. or anything associated with her[b]...If she asked, I will say I blocked them sweetie.., U started it first..

..
This part sweet me.

why do wives always have issues with their mother in law

Some people do mistakenly block others. Well, she might have her reasons.

Hmm
The last hasn't been heard of mother in-law and daughter in-law drama.
Tom and jerry no dey ever gree

People were basically trying to give an excuse that it was a mistake... I don't just buy that... I mean what kind of phone were they using that blocks people easily?... Blocking people is not the same as a phone that was Pocket dialing..haba!!!

This is my advise.

Don't confront her. Unblock the number without her knowledge. Then, ask your mum to call her. Then monitor how things unfold afterwards.

If your mum is still unable to reach her, check again if she has blocked her, then you know it is deliberate. There is no way she will not twist the matter if you confront her.

InTheCloudySky:
You have two options

1. Ask her and be calm with your approach. . She's the only person who can tell you why she has done that.

2. Overlook it and and see it as no big deal. As long as she's respectful and kind to your mom when she visits, that's all that should matter.

I love your submission, but that "overlook it" is what I don't subscribe to.

Just playfully tell your wife your mother has been trying her number & always complain is not reachable, her response will determine if the blocking is intentional or not.

Just watch her face & reaction when she wants to respond.

If it's by mistake she we be eager to call your mom right there to explain,

But trust me, if it's intentional, she won't bother & her reason will be flimsy

It's no mistake at all.
