Mother in law

Defiantly very common. I was like this when I had my first born…. I was very territorial and worried about the same things… I do also think a huge part is hormones…. But she is now 11 and her grandma and her are very close but no one will ever come close to their mother. My daughter loves her grandmother so much but knows who we both are and our roles in her life I’m always mum. I’m always the one she comes too. Trust me just let go and let them love each other your daughter will always know who you are ❤️

Feelings like that are why I send my kids to daycare instead of getting free child care from family. I think the feelings are normal.

Yeah I get the feeling just try enjoy the fact that someone loves your baby so much, take him out and do special things with just you and him or dad so he spends time separate from them. It would be harder living with them too. It gets easier as they get older too.

Yeah I feel like this is quite common. I felt the same way as well. I still kind of feel that way sometimes. My son is OBSESSED with his grandma. She’s all he talks about. He’s always wanting to go to her house and he throws a fit when it’s time to leave. I love that he loves her so much. I do. But I wish he loved me just as much lol I know he does. But ofc he’s more fond of grandma. She lets him eat junk food and run around like a crazy person and he never gets in trouble and at home, there’s structure and rules. And I know that’s how it is with grandparents. They get to be the fun ones and mommy and daddy are the bad guys 🙄😅

Yes but it’s mostly with my mom lol sometimes I can’t help it since I’m the “bad guy” when my Lo is doing things she’s not supposed to do so I’m always the one nagging and giving time outs. And ofc my LO runs to grandma since she doesn’t do anything.

Yes I totally feel this all the time even though my MIL is amazing and wonderful with my son. Totally common.
