Hi to all
I am a full-time working mummy with a 14 month old boy. Due to my hectic work schedules and long distance between my office and home, my boy is placed at my mother-in-law's house together with my maid during weekdays (i fetch them on Fri night and bring them back on Mon morn).
The bad thing is that I noticed that my boy is increasingly attached to my mother in law who dotes on him alot. Everyday after work when i went over, he will ask my mother in law to carry and not me. My mother in law will go very "yaya" as she will have remarks to him like "Why always find grandma carry?", "You like grandma so much huh", "You only want grandma huh". I feel very, very sad after hearing and seeing these.
Right now, I can't possibly bring him home everyday as I have diffculty bringing him back from my mother in law house to my house as it is almost 2 hours journey and my boy is very, very cranky. That is why I am a weekend mummy. I do interact with him often but ultimately, he still chooses his grandma than me. (i wonder if he knows i am his mummy)
Another thing is that when i bring him out and let him walk on his own, he tends to roam around and is very dangerous. I want to hold his hands while walking but he will definitely pull away his hands and throw tantrum by sitting down. Is it normal for 14 month old kids to dislike adults holding their hands? How to train him?
Pls advise on my 2 issues above. I am feeling very depressed over my mother in law who always like to fight with me over my son. I know it is good to have 1 more person to dote on my son but she is getting too much and over the line.
Pls help!!!!
