You know, even at four, that little girl could have been deliberately trying to get at you. GS1 started very young. (He's come right out of it now, at nearly fourteen) smile

By ignoring what a four year old says.Don't allow yourself to be upset, she is young, and will grow up, they say all sorts of things.It's natural that your DIL wants her own Mother to be around more, that's just the way it is, and we all have to live with it, it's not a popularity competition anyway.

Oh! sad I felt the same when mine were younger. I remember one occasion when GS1 actually kissed a photo of his nanny (I am granny) in a photo album we were looking through. You know the expression "pierced my heart"? Well.... hmm

It passes. I couldn't care less anymore. They love me. I think. The younger one absolutely adores my purse. hmm grin

Since my first grandchild was born DIL's mother has been fully on the case in every way. Her entire life revolves around her daughters and her grandchildren. I help out quite a lot with babysitting and giving them money to make ends meet. I also go round most weeks to play with my granddaughter whilst DIL gets on with some jobs and looks after the baby. Yet, despite everything it's obvious that DIL's mum is considered as best granny. Yesterday my granddaughter, who is four, told me that she loves her other granny more than me. I'm very upset. How can I work through this?
