Relationships since baby

Does anyone else feel like no one else thinks of the mums feelings and only theirs when it comes to grandparents etc? For example, my mum & dad are absolutely obsessed with my little girl (1 year old) which is lovely to see, but sometimes I just feel like no one ever thinks of what’s best for me rather than them? We had a disagreement because I chose to take my little one to a day out for her birthday rather than grandparents getting to see her. (I got upset that no one was thinking of how we feel as parents only what they wanted) & another thing… when my mum is with me and my LO, if my LO comes to me and gives me a cuddle, my mum will get on the floor and start playing with toys knowing my little one will jump off me and play with her instead. I’ve said to her I notice she does this and she says ‘oh well you have her all the time, I don’t see her Alot’ (she sees her 3x a week) To me, the fact my mum doesn’t like my own little girl coming to cuddle me and gets jealous? in a way is not very nice? Me and my mum are really close and she’s always been my best friend but I just feel like since having my little girl I’ve struggled with my relationship with her. Think I just wonder if anyone else has gone through something similar?

Can definitely relate to this!

@CeeCee have you had similar situations?

Definitely! My MIL wanted to come up and meet the baby the morning after we got home hospital even though I was vomiting from an infection and in hysterics because baby wasnt drinking any milk and might have needed to go back to hospital, she couldnt care less about my health just adamant to see the baby! And other things too with family in general like wanting to take her off me as soon as we walk in somewhere, even if Ive said I need to feed her etc

My mum is the same and she actually said it’s because she didn’t get the quality time with me when I was a baby because she went back to work when I was 6 weeks old full time so my nan brought me up. X
