3 year old loves to go to only my parents house.

[Elliott2018]

My grandson who is 3 years old has had both sets of grandparents in his life since birth. Both sets of grandparents have spent a lot of time and have helped raise him. My grandson cry’s and says he doesn’t want to go to the other grandparents house, but my daughter makes him go. I don’t want to cause problems, but this does not sit well with me or my husband. I even encourage him to go to help my daughter out, but then I feel awful for doing. I would love some advice and thoughts.

@MissMarks
That is the reason for reaching out. I can't say with 100% that there is nothing going on.

@ivfgottwins
I am not trying to be smug and am sorry that you feel I am.

@Howyoudoingirl
My grandson is none of my business? That's your advice? Thanks

@MatthewHBpig
Stealth brag?? Really?? Sorry to have reached out for advice:-(

@Sweetpea1532
Thank you for giving an honest answer without telling me that my grandson is none of my business, I'm smug, butt out, stealth brag. I can't believe how mean most of the people on here were in their comments. Anyways, I appreciate your time and opinion. It means a lot and thanks again!

@Elliott2018
You are very welcome
That child is your heart!

Not once did you make a disparaging remark about DD in-laws...seems to me you were just wanting to work out why DGS was behaving this way and asking if anyone had a similar experience...some people like to analyse certain behaviours...where is the smugness in that?

Now get on with loving that little boy and continue to make happy memories. I can imagine he will look back on them with fondness and cherish every ounce of love you are pouring into him.

My 4 year old moans and cries about going to my mums house because, wait for it.. "she makes me wear a cardigan!" and she only has one set if GP's

Hey OP. What does your grandson say about why he doesn’t want to go? People are being a bit obtuse if they think these situations are always about a child being fickle - he may be of course but he may also be trying to communicate something and people aren’t hearing him. It could just be they’re a bit stern or grandad has bushy eyebrows. Don’t obviously say anything leading but you can ask him about what he does when he goes there - what games do they play and then pay attention to what he says. If he says he doesn’t like it say “ oh dear, why’s that then?” And see what you can glean.

Your child has been reading style & beauty and has been made aware cardigans are a crime against fashion.

I should have read the thread because Sweetpea explained it perfectly. You didn’t come across as smug to me. Families are more than the parents and children. My DM would lay down her life protecting her grandchildren.

I too would be wondering why he didn’t want to go

It could be that you are great fun but the others are not so interested in 3 year old play and he feels bored or unwelcome.
I have DGCs and I go to great efforts but they have never not wanted to go to other DGPs. DD need to subtly ask.

My 3yo only likes me and cries when going to see anyone else - both sets of grandparents, his best pals, his cousins, his dad in a different room of the house.....

She must have 😆

@Sweetpea1532
I will do that and again thank you❤️

He's 3. They don't like changing their activity because they get fixated on whatever it is they are currently doing.
