She loves everyone more than me

So my dd4 loves her dad and her granny and cousin more than she loves me. She goes to her grans a few times a week whilst I am at work and they are really great so I get it tbh, but she quite openly tells me that she loves them more than she loves me. She went away with her gran and cousin for a few days and when I asked if she would miss me she said not really because I much prefer being with them anyway - but that she would miss daddy lots 😳 I know I probably am bu to be abit upset over it, but it makes me wonder what's wrong with me, what am I doing wrong that she doesn't really love me? She is completely besotted with her dad so I get that that's fine, he thinks she says it to wind me up knowing it would upset me, but why would a 4 year old do that? Aibu to be sad she doesn't love me more than other members of or family?

Little children 'test' the boundaries to check that you really love them - it's a security thing, it makes them feel safe. Next time: 'what a shame, because mummy loves you lots'.
