[quote=Anonymous]My DD, thinks one of her grandmas doesn’t like her. They don’t spend tons of time together and zero one on one time together. All of their time spent together is either with other family or with just her other similarly aged cousin.

To be transparent, I have had a rocky relationship with my mom. I think DD is smart enough to have an inkling of that, though I’d like to think I’ve done a good job of shielding her from that because I didn’t want to influence her relationship with my mom.

Honestly, I don’t think DD is super off base when she says my mom doesn’t like her. I’ve never gotten the feeling my mom likes her (just like I don’t think my mom actually likes me a whole lot) and my mom has made some comments to me awhile back about her being a poorly behaved child. She wasn’t and still isn’t. My parents are literally the only people that seem to think this. But my DD doesn’t know about these comments. My DD also said my mom doesn’t ask her about school or activities, instead focuses these questions towards her cousin.

Again, I don’t think this is all in her head - I see what she’s seeing, but I don’t ever point it out. I kind of figured she’d start to notice eventually as she got older. I don’t want to gaslight her into thinking it’s all in her head, but still want to try to foster a positive relationship… anyone been through something similar? [/quote]
