I am a 33 year old single mom. I live with my mom and dad, who are wonderful. Yet I am having a difficult time as my mom will not leave my daughter alone. If it is playtime, mom is on the floor with her, if I get up from feeding her to rinse a dish, mom is entertaining her. I don't want to sound ungrateful cuz I am anything but.......I just find it very difficult when my daughter will only go to my mom and not to me. My mother knows this as we have talked about it and she sees my daughter doing this. What can I do. I have asked mom to just back off a little and that happens for a short period of time. I know it is my job to do bottles and laundry and everything else but I just want to know that my daughter will come to me.....which she never does if my mom is there. I go back to work in 4 weeks and the baby will be with mom full time. I am worried my baby thinks My Mom is her mother and not me. My mom told me that my daughter thinks of me as her "big sister". No, I am MOM!
