If you get on well with her partner, why not check in with him to make sure they’re OK and to get his thoughts?
Dear Coleen My daughter is 29 and lives 70 miles away with her partner and their daughter, who’s a year old. My problem is, she treats me like an irritating relative whom she doesn’t like much but has to put up with.
She has little respect for me or her dad, and still talks to us like she’s an angry teenager. When I call because I love her and want to know how she is, she acts like I’m interfering. It’s tricky because I don’t want to rock the boat too much in case she stops us seeing our granddaughter. I’m at a loss.
Also, as you know yourself, that first year of motherhood is really hard. You have to hit the ground running, you’re exhausted all the time from sleepless nights and it’s a lot to get to grips with.
