Sad because my daughter recognizes my mom as her mom

So I am a stay at home mom who ofc takes care of my 1 year old daughter all day long and night and I live with my mom so my daughter calls my mom “ mommy “ it hurts my feelings at bit because I question am I a good mom all the time 😕, like does she not recognize me as her mom and any time I show her pictures of us and myself she don’t even say mommy , but when I show her my mom she immediately says “‘mommy” , I know she’s still a baby buy usually they are able to recognize mom , that’s another reason why I want to move because I want to run my own household and my child the way I want too ever since I gave birth it’s like she’s not even my child she’s everyone else’s all I am is just a caregiver

If you don’t already, can you start doing more one on one things with your kiddo? Like walks, reading or whatnot?

Do you call your mom mommy? She might be hearing you and think that’s her name. I have a friend who calls her grandma mommy as an adult but she obviously knows her mom is her actual mom and calls her mom. Although getting hurt by it is valid. My son rarely calls me mama and only calls for his dad and I’m a SAHM so I know how that can feel. Almost like rejection but trust me she loves you.

My mum does a lot with me and my little boy, obviously I call her mum so for a little while he also called her mum too! Xxxxx

My kiddo called everyone "ma". It was just easier for her and she thought that people she loved was "ma". But as she is getting older, whe is calling them different names. It hurt me at first but then I told myself we just need to work on differentiating people's names and once we focused on that, she stopped calling them ma

Sometimes having "ma" at the end of everything can also be confusing which is why they just say ma
