Second time writing this thread as I git no responses and am just feeling super low.
Just for context I have a lovely 8 (nearly 9) MONTH old and am a stay at home mum. I spend every waking moment with her and we co sleep. She is incredibly active and it's commented on ALL the time. Always moving crawling grabbing standing. Will screech all day long unless on the move and never sits in the jumperoo etc. I cater to her every need I feel and am very affectionate as I love her to bits and can't resist showing her.
Recently the last couple of months I've noticed when she is scared of new ppl etc she will jump into my DH, MIL, DM, Dsis, SILs etc arms and snuggle in. She will push me away when I pick her up in general when we're ready to go home and try to jump into their arms and will hug and lay on their chest. I CAN NEVER get any affection from her and whilst my DH/DM reassure me she loves mama most, my MIL absolutely dances with joy when she doesn't want mama and always comments her kids were like velcro and snuggled her 24/7. It's really getting me down. I don't have anyone to talk to either because I guess they just don't understand and get fed up
