Am I stupid for feeling this way ?

Hi guys so my daughter is so attached to my dad and now my sister has come from the uk and has only seen her a few times And my daughter is so so attached to my sister . Wants nothing to do with me at all and when my sister leaves the room or my dad she gets so upset . But when I leave she doesn’t even care or notice . Is it normal to feel sad and not loved by my own child I know it’s silly . She even called my sister Mum a few times ( we don’t look alike ) I am so grateful they have a good bond with each other . Btw im a single parent , my daughter’s dad sees her fortnightly .i am a good person .

🥹😂 I would be feeling the same way, and I’m not looking forward to the day this ever happens 🫶🏼 but deep down i know im his mumma and no one else could compare to that 🤗

I'm not sure how old your daughter is but this is definitely a stage they go through. Your family dynamic looks different but they all go through it. Typically it's the other parent they suddenly are all about them instead of their primary caregiver. It sucks and it hurts but it actually means You've done your job well, they are so secure in their relationship with you that they are now confident to start forming new ones with other people. It doesn't last they will swing back to you!

No stupid, I would be jealous 😅. But it could just be that your dad and sister are able to spend time playing with her while you have the responsibility of being a parent, so doing all the things required to keep them clean, full, rested, content. That responsibility might be taking her away from having fun thus the response.
