[quote=Anonymous]OP, certainly sounds like your DD is a selfish brat. How old is she? Was this a planned pregnancy?

I do wonder if it's possible that she has PPD. After my DC was born, I went to my parents' almost every day. I would hand the baby to my mom and "check out" much like you describe your daughter doing.  But, I was really good at hiding the other symptoms and just claiming to be tired, etc. So no one saw that I was struggling. One day when DD was 6 months I grabbed a knife off the counter and went to stab myself in the stomach with it. I stopped myself and was shocked enough to finally seek help.

I may be projecting, of course, but so much of what you write sounds familiar. The daily visits the mom, the envy of my siblings' child free lives, the desire to check out, the lack of desire to play with my child, the giving in to all desires so as to avoid listening to crying, the putting chores ahead of childcare . . .  I don't know, but you may want to talk to your daughter about how she's really doing with motherhood.[/quote]
