To ask you to cheer me up? Feel like DD loves grandparents more

I suspect I'm just being massively oversensitive and need a kick up the bum but I feel so down about this.

I feel like my 1 year old DD loves my parents more than me. Especially my Mum. They see her a lot, multiple times a week and are absolutely doting grandparents.

It's like I'm just sort of invisible when they are around, especially Mum her Gran. She can stay there and when I pick her up she won't even care at all that I'm there, always reaching out for my Mum if I'm holding her etc..

I just feel so shit about it and embarrassingly jealous too!

Me and DD spend a lot of time together (SAHM) and I'm sure she loves me but I come absolutely second fiddle when my mum is around Sad

It takes some getting used to. DS1 (3yo) absolute favourite person in the world is MIL. Its so lovely that they have such a close relationship but I too felt so pushed out when he was first showing a preference.
