[quote=Anonymous]My MIL doesn’t get a long well with females. She can’t relate and acts very weird around them. I can’t really explain it. I have two kids 6 and almost 4 and she has a good relationship with my son but not my daughter. My MIL makes it very obvious she prefers my son, and just gets easily frustrated with my DD. My BIL(much older than DH) has two grown kids and she loves his son and talks awful about his daughter and almost has no relationship with her. My daughter has realized that grandma never plays with her and only plays with her brother. She also snaps at my daughter for age appropriate behaviors, like getting silly before bedtime or not wanting to get out of the bath. When my daughter won’t give her hug, she pouts and makes a big fuss saying things like “why don’t you love grandma?” Or “your brother will give me a hug.”

Well today they were supposed to pick them up to take them on an outing and my daughter would not go. I’m talking screaming “I don’t want to go with grandma!!” I tried everything to convince her that she was going to have fun, but she refused to even get in the car, it was like fight or flight. My MIL sat in the car bawling her eyes out, and even told my son “your sister doesn’t like me.” I have no idea what to do...my husband has tried to explain that my DD feeds off of her behavior, but then she just cries more and says he is attacking her. My MIL has practically written her other granddaughter off, how do I prevent the same thing from happening with my DD. [/quote]
