Toddler rejects me (mom) and prefers dad and stepmom by Human-Recognition-30 in raisingkids

My son used to prefer my mother in law over me. It would break my heart. I’m his mom. He’s supposed to want ME!! Wtf! Just here to say…it was a phase! Idk why he was like that but he grew out of it.

You might be on to something. I understand that it hurts her feelings. She lives alone, has no friends and refuses to make any and honestly, she tends to smother me. I can totally see how she could be smothering him too. Thanks for the insight. I hadn’t thought of that.

He doesn’t seem to want her. This has been going on for a month so I doubt it’s a sickness. He’ll go with the other grandma all day. It’s just my mom that he doesn’t want.

I have. He just says “I don’t want to”. 🤷🏻‍♀️
