First AIBU so please don't flame me!
DD, who is 1, is a bit shy around people she doesn't know well & is generally a bit uneasy around most men in particular. Once she's confident with you she will give you lots of smiles,cuddles & kisses & play with you.
One of DD's grandparents only really sees her at best once a month, but more like every eight weeks as they live a couple of hours away. As a result she doesn't really know them that well.
They visited last week & I saw another family member today who mentioned it sounded like they had a good time but that they didn't really get cuddles & want that a shame.
I didn't force her on anyone partly because she's got the snottiness cold ever & is feeling a bit grumpy as a result & partly as her grandfather doesn't seem to be very confident/naturally good with kids so I feel like he needs to be eased in to playing with her.
They did play with her on the floor or with her on my lap but pretty much zero action on the cuddle front.
She might have cuddled them if DH & I had left the room but that basically involves sitting upstairs so it didn't cross my mind until this family member mentioned it today.
It's a bit tricky as her cousin who is a year older is SO outgoing that this side of the family compare her a lot & I worry they think DD should be more like her.
Was I BU (& lazy) not to push DD on to her grandparents more?
I don't really feel it's down to me to make sure everyone gets to cuddle DD but I will keep an open mind!
