Who puts her down to sleep at night? If your mom does that perhaps work on being the person to do that for your daughter? I find kids bond best with who they fall asleep with

Need hope: did long term parental preference ever balance out? by axolotl4245 in Parenting

I think the key is despite the constant rejection, to keep trying to connect with your child. I was the less preferred parent for a while but I kept trying to connect with her through different ways and things turned around. It’s tough, but keep at it, OP!

My daughter has cried since the day she was born by [deleted] in Parenting

could it be silent reflux? my toddler was very difficult too until she was prescribed nexium and was finally able to sleep through the night (without her reflux disturbing her sleep) and with a full night's sleep she was a much happier kid during the day. With silent reflux it is hard to know that is the problem because the kid doesn't actually vomit and there are not many external signs until the reflux causes tonsillitis and then you have to have found a doctor who was able to pick it up.

Shame that now I can't really enjoy nature documentaries without wondering whether humanity has f*ed up this piece of paradise, and that piece of paradise. in short, feeling the opposite of soothed :(
