Just wandering if others have experienced this. My LG is about to turn one and has recently started to completely ignore me when grandparents are around. Honestly it’s like a barely exist when they are there. Although initially it really threw me I was happy she was building bonds outside of my husband and I. However the more and more it’s happened I’ve found myself getting really upset. Generally I find it ok when LG gets on this way when I’m with my own mum. Plus my mums been pretty sensitive about handling it and is great at reminding me that I’m her constant.
I struggle really bad however when it is my MIL (who delights in her being the centre of my babies attention over me) Today my LG kicked off because she wanted my MIL to hold her and not me. LG barely came near me at all. Just feeling so deflated. I know this is a phase and of course I know she loves me but the rejection of me over my MIL has really knocked me. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Perhaps even some advice on how to deal with this phase. Tbh I think I just need to know I’m not the only one.
If you’ve read through this all thanks for taking the time to read through my ramblings.
