Nc -
My family member and I both have DC with similar age ranges. 3 months apart. Both hitting pretty much the same milestones. We share these together.
Not once, i dont think she has ever complimented or praised my child for what she's done, but, turned it around to her DC
'oh blah learned to crawl today!'
'yeah, blahs been doing that ages, her new trick is to clap'
Where as if she turns to me and says she has achieved something I always make a, big deal out of it, always praise her daughter.
Literally anything she turns into her and her family and doesn't even give a damn about me or mine, it's like she only asks something to shove into the conversation how great her family is.
Apparently her 10 month of says 10 words some are just babbles like literally no connection to a real word and I praise this although I don't quite believe a babbling sound is a genuine word.
Maybe I read too much into but I honestly it's really frustrating me now, Im not asking for her to be over the moon but just to say 'ah well done, that's great' would suffice, surely? I'd get it if she didnt want to know of anything but she does, but, she doesn't want to knwo for the sake of knowing and praising she does it purely to then turn it into her.
AIBU?
