Hi,
Any mummies having the same experience?
My boy is taken care by MIL as i work full time. He is now 2 yrs and attending 2 hr playgrp but he is very attached to MIL. She is always his "1st choice", (natural as she has been looking after him during day time since birth). He will sometimes reject my husband to carry him esp when the granny is around. I'm always his "last choice" and at times, he will push me away.
I feel v sad being rejected as i'm his mother but he prefers his granny and she will always gives in to him, while i am the "disciplinary master".
I know this is a phrase but not sure how to tackle and overcome this jealousy? Only during weekends, i can spend more time with him, try to have more "bonding time" but as he is reaching his "terrible two", hence could drive me nuts.
End up, i become the monster mum who will spank him and put him in the naughty corner.
My husband is his playmate and the granny his "favorite idol" as she just give in to him - his needs and wants.
He also tends to scream for no reasons and more naughty when i'm at home. MIL claims he is very well behave under her care.
Feeling so lost........
