My daughter is 1 year old and I have a feeling she doesn't like me what breaks my heart. My husband works till late hours so basically I'm alone with her whole day. When we are together is even ok she laughs and plays etc. But when my husband or my mother-in-law come back from work( we live with in-laws) she chooses them over me. I understand that after spending whole day with me she can prefer others company as it's something different and new but she ignores me completely and when I hold her she wants to go to them and when she is held by them she doesn't wanna go to me at all. Sometimes almost cries. When they leave the room she cries or gets angry but when I leave she doesn't even care.
It really breaks my heart and I want to cry. Sometimes I even don't feel like trying anymore. When we go somewhere and she is scared, hurt or something, instead of going to me she goes to her grandma what is shocking for others and painful for me. When I see other children who only want to be with their mothers I feel depressed and jealous. I really don't know what to do anymore. Because I spend whole day with her of course I am the one who forbids her a lot but it is only for her safety. When I talk about my feelings to my husband he doesn't see any problem and says it's just my imagination. I feel really hopeless. What should I do?
