I have a feeling that I'm going to end up getting in a fight with my mom. She just keeps talking about how special my daughter is and then when it comes to my son she makes negative comments, never holds him or plays with him, and tells me how he is such a crabby trouble-some baby. She will ask to take Aria but never wants Nate. Yes, he had horrible colic for awhile but unless he is hungry or tired he is such a happy sweet baby now. Why can't she see him for how amazing he is?

I'm sorry to hear that. For a while I felt like my mom showed favoritism and didn't like to get my baby. She made a comment that made me feel as if she was "color struck" and it really hurt. So what I did was stopped allowing her to get my oldest for a while bc I told her that I don't want them separated. I get that my children are EXACTLY two yrs apart so the oldest was way more self sufficient so no she didn't have to get them both every time bc I know if she's going out or something the oldest would be easier. But she did it all the time and that was an issue. So I stopped allowing her to get the baby and eventually she realized that they are a packaged deal.... Now the baby is bigger, a lot more personality of course and she treats them equal... And she gets both of them often. Try that it may work.

Stop letting her have your daughter without your son too. Yes theirs times that it would be easier with just the older one but not all the time. Idk how you havent flipped on her yet for talk down on the baby. Colic or not hes a baby, and her grandchild. She needs to get over it

@momzillaof3 yeah, last night it was really hard. I held it all in until my husband and I got to the car and then I started to lose it. I ended up spelling out everything as I vented to my husband because kids were in the car and I don't want my daughter to hear me say that Grandma has issues

My mom tried that with my kids, it didn’t work. I told her I don’t play favorites and if she wants to then she just won’t see either of them. I told her if I catch her doing or saying anything to make one child feel more important or less than the other then she just won’t be around any more. 🤷🏻♀️ Nip it in the butt now or it will just cause more issues down the road when the kids get older.

@glencoco I'm going to have to do something. I just don't understand how you could feel that way about a grandkid.
