Feeling rejected
Hi everyone I know this is probably so silly but I have a nearly 22 month old. He has been mostly a mummy’s boy up until til a few weeks ago. When he goes to his grandparents or other family members he forgets I exist he even tells me to go away. They end up doing all the mummy things with him that I feel is my job. I feel so rejected by him it really hurts I know this is probably so silly but it’s also coz my in-laws have hurt me in the past and I do feel quite uncomfortable when he is around them but I have no choice. I feel like I’m losing my child. I’m am literally crying all the time

It's completely normal for kids this age. "Not you" is the most common phase that's how they establish independence it's a sign he's developing well. Good job mamma! It stings but that great news 😊
@Klaudia thanks made me feel a bit better I’m reading about this stage now. It’s just heartbreaking 💔
@Melissa I have never spoken to my child like that. And it’s difficult to get a one year old to understand how hurtful go away is, do you have any suggestions? I speak to him all the time he is actually quite advanced for his age in speech people have commented a lot how intelligent and friendly he is too, I think it’s just quite exciting when he’s around new people and he doesn’t want me to disturb his fun. It is hurtful though
