[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Age 3 is tricky time too.  The fact that your MIL doesn't seem to understand that is really her problem.  My kids were not very interested in my MIL either when they were very little.  She's just not very good with babies and toddlers and think they should adore her simply because she's there, without doing any bonding work with them.  This got a bit better as they got older.  My oldest is 5 now and while she isn't always running to my MIL because she's so happy to see her, she does enjoy her company.  She's learned my MIL will buy her whatever she wants and she really likes that :).

So while protecting your DD for a bit, also realize that these things can shift and change as kids get bigger.  The biggest red flag is you've seen her already alienate one grand daughter.

But also, where is your DH and what does he say?  I suspect he is just as much part of the problem here.[/quote]

This is not a age thing.

The MIL was fine with toddler behavior when it was with a grandson. The MIL is always going to treat her granddaughter poorly no matter how old she is - as evidenced by her relationships with her other grandchildren.

OP, I’m really curious about how she treats YOU?[/quote]
