Hi, I recently joined this group and it's a wonderful thing you guys are doing here. A support group for parents is always needed and appreciated, especially for those who are facing problems with their children.Which brings me to my issue. I have a beautiful daughter, 2.7 years old, and her attachment with her grandmother is getting to me. Make no mistake, my mother in law is very nice, she loves my child to bits, and is more than happy to do things like feeding or playing with her. Her relationship with my daughter has not bothered me before this.For the past two days, everytime I tell my child 'No' , she starts screaming for her grandmother. I live with my in-laws (south-Asian country, husband is not in the country as well, this situation will improve as he wants to move back into the country and get our own place), so it's difficult for me to avoid a confrontation as they will knock on my door to check what is wrong. More than that, the feeling that my child prefers my mother-in-law over me is unbearable. To add to that, I'm pregnant again, so I guess some of what I'm feeling is hormone driven as well. But I hate feeling like this, and more than that, I feel like I'm beginning to resent my child for putting me in this position.Any advice on how to manage the situation at my end? Like how can I deal with this on a personal level. Also, what can I do to improve my situation with my daughter? I'm at my wits end.Note: At 2.7 years, my daughter cannot talk very clearly, she cannot form full sentences, and most of the time nobody (other than moi) understands what she is saying. She is also very temperamental, and rarely listens to reason, but I guess toddlers are like that? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3aDgdnY
