Hi all
My daughter was fine with my mum before Covid, but since March my mum has totally isolated so they haven't had a cuddle or played together for months. We haven't been in the house since March. Our only face to face contact has been outside - distanced etc.
At first my daughter was happy when we went to see her, but the past few weeks she scratches my face when we go up the drive (as if she might be excited), but then goes extremely quiet and just stares blankly or even looks away when my mum talks to her). She is normally chatty, but will only say 'bye' when we are leaving!
I know there are worse things, and it's a temporary situation but this is a bit upsetting! My theory is that subconsciously my daughter think's mum is a danger as we distancing...
I'm sure there are many hundreds of thousands of children/grandparents who are distancing too and in the same boat - anyone else experiencing the same with their children/parents?
