[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My granddaughter is 6, and by most accounts she’s a pleasant, attractive child[/b]. She and her cousins play well together but she and her little brother can both be a little hyper and show off sometimes. But I have some concerns about my DIL and her daughter’s bond.

Ever since she had her second who is now 4, my DIL has been seemingly disengaged with her oldest. The oldest before was an easy baby but to me isn’t very affectionate with her mother at all. I don’t think I’ve seen her pick her daughter up or play with her ever and we spend a good deal of time together. Granddaughter is a very affectionate kid but always goes to her dad, myself, or DH. She plays very well with her cousins but is very attached to stuffed animals still and always has the favorite one with her and sometimes a few others, even brings them on the school bus, and gets sad when you say she can’t take it with her. I worry that this is due to my DIL ignoring her.

I have a lot of grandkids the same ages who are much more attached to their mothers and to be clear I don’t suspect that granddaughter is being abused, but I do suspect she’s being ignored but I don’t want to seem like the mean MIL! How would you address this? [/quote]
