In the Summer, I spent the majority of time at my grandma’s and weekends. It isn’t because she dislikes you. I have so many memories with my grandparents and cousins!
I was a little older than that and I’d always want to spend the night at my grandmas. And I’m glad I did because one day she wasn’t here anymore but I have those memories to carry with me.

I loved sleeping at my grandma’s almost every weekend during summers I literally almost lived there 🩷 it stayed as I got older as well! They are the best memories we still laugh about!
I was always at my grandparents, never thought any less of my parents. Now they are all gone. I’d do anything to spend the night or even to just talk to them again
I’m chopped liver compared to my kids grandparents lol they would choose to go over all the time if they could and I’m happy they have that bond I don’t think your child dislikes you lol

I think you’re taking this to personal. There’s something there she enjoys. It’s a different environment than your home.

I used to do this when I was about 7/8. It made me feel so grown up 
it didn’t have anything to do with loving my grandfather more or my mother less, it just felt like childhood freedom

My daughter did a dance up and down the garden path as the paramedics carted me off because she got to spend the night at my sister’s, she was 6 also so don’t take it personally

Honestly she doesn’t hate you but just loves your parents and you gotta remember that she’s not gonna get as long with them as you did so let them all have their time as long as its not interfering with your parenting
Oh, mama, don’t let that hurt your feelings. I was the same way with my grandparents when I was a kid and it was invaluable. They just spoil your kids and kids like that
I would love to have more time with my grandchildren. I give them attention and have fun with them.
I have 2 granddaughters that wanted to be with papa and grama all the time when they were little and I treasured every minute i had them ,I don’t think you have anything to worry about obviously they love their grandparents
Our granddaughter and her parents lived with us for a year when she was 3, then moved to Colorado 15 years ago that was hard to deal with. Be thrilled she loves to spend time with her grandparents
Our now 6 year old has spent the night at my in laws 1 time a week, almost every week since she was about 3 months old. It’s the biggest blessing we could have been given 
she did go through a phase where she wanted to come home some nights, but luckily we live in the same neighborhood so it all works out 
It is very normal …i would have lived with mine if theyd let me lol … what my folk always said… but dont let it hurt your feelings i assure you it has nothing to do with their feelings for you …
Be grateful that your parents are even in her life. Also, gives you a break as well! My daughter spends time with my parents and in my home too. It doesn’t mean she doesn’t like me, she just enjoys being with her grandparents 
Count it as a blessing, my kids always wished to have active grandparents 
You should be glad she wants to spend time with them the more people she has that love her is all for the best make the most of it and do something you want to do its a win win situation unless you make it not
Only let her on the weekends or two nights. It’s good they have a great relationship but time with parents are important too. She doesn’t hate you rules are probably a little different for her over there (grandparent behavior I love it spoil them grand babies!)
I have 3 kids and they love to spend the night with their grandparents. Some weekends they all go others only 2 go or sometimes only 1. If grandparents say yes I don’t fight it. Gives me a break and they truly enjoy being over there.
I didn’t grow up with many grandparents, just my grandmother on my dad’s side. My parents have spent so much time with my kids I know they will always have those amazing memories where I didn’t.
Children who have grandparent who they love and love them are lucky.
Enjoy the break.
Ask her what she does there, that she enjoys the most and try and replicate it.
My 5 year old asks to go to memaw and papas every day after daycare. She has a strong bond with them and always have fun there.
You need counseling - if your jealous of this -what will you be jealous of later- are you serious?
Let that child spend time with ppl that ain’t gonna be around much longer- they have the time now- not later ~ n yes duh grandparents are cooler & funner than parents- it’s the name of the game- why are you taking it personally is the better question- how dare you put this on the kid w out looking into a mirror - why are you trying to regulate their relationship?
I wish I had more time with my grandparents

My 5 year old daughter loves her grandparents but hates going over for a visit. Consider yourself blessed that your child feels safe with the people around her.
Be thankful,gmas and gpas dont stay around long,in a few short yrs theyll only be memories
I loved being with my grandma. My kids were the same. Don’t feel bad. Let her spend as much time with them as she can. It won’t always be an option
As someone who never had a relationship with any grandparents I’d be ecstatic that she has the opportunity to have that bond with hers. I always made sure mine had a close relationship with their grandparents as well because I didn’t want them missing out like I did. You should be happy that they’re able and willing to spend time with her like that.
Her grandparents won’t be around as long as you will be so let her spend as much time as she wants. I didn’t have grandparents
She loves her grandparents 
I don’t don’t think that means she loves you less. Maybe her grandparents have/do something that doesn’t happen with you at home. Games, outings, sweets, etc. Etc…
My daughter is 7 and spends a lot of time with my parents as well. As did I when I was little. It takes a village girl. Don’t over think it. Your baby loves you she just gets more attention, toys, one on one time at grandmas 
she’s a kid and they want to be spoiled and given attention. I know my mom gives my daughter whatever she wants and plays with her all day long. Doesn’t mean my daughter loves me any less. Also I have noticed my relationship can sometimes be up and down and all over the place. My parents have been married 30 years so I think also that my daughter loves that security and foundation of having that family
my oldest is 7 and does this, or wants to sleep at my brothers (he’s the cool uncle lol). I have 2 other children and he likes to go alone (1 year old is BF so she stays with me, 6 year old stepson is at his moms when he goes) he likes that he is the center of attention there and gets away with more than at our home. I understand why he wants to, so i let him anytime he asks as long as it’s okay with them. My parents are on the older side and i want him to have as much time with them as he can.
I loved being at my grandparents house. My kids loved being at there grandparents houses. LET THEM MAKE MEMORIES WHILE THEY CAN!! My parents passed young my children only had my mom n dad no grandparents alive on husband side. So my kids was 6, 5, n 3 when papa passed n 11,10, 8 when grandma passed. Some of my greatest memories was with my grandparents. She loves u she just wants to make memories
Nothing wrong with them spending Time with the grands gives you a break
My man’s grandson is here daily and then he spends his nights at his Grammies house he’s barely ever home just turned 7. His cousin is 14 and she’s here every weekend
As a gramma my 6 yr old granddaughter loves coming to my house and always says she wasn’t to be here. I can say my view from being a mom to a gramma the things I realize that are important is quality time. I sit on the floor and play , we go for walks , etc. when I was a parent the house had to be clean first the dishes and laundry done then we can play. By that time my kids had moved on to something else and we didn’t do it. If there are dishes in the sink so what, laundry needs to be done so what. Spend quality time. This all can be done when they go to bed.
Parents tend to be the disciplinarians while grandparents indulge them. Every day is unacceptable. She needs to know who her parents are, and that she doesn’t get everything she wants.
Y’all are looking at this from an adult’s perspective, rather than a child’s. At 6, grandma’s is better if there are fewer rules, she bakes muffins, etc.
What a foolish thing to say or Ask

Please please please let her have that time. A drunk driver took my grandmother when my mom was just 9 yrs old. Unless shes a toxic person, let that baby enjoy it. I now have a daughter and I yearn for my daughter to have a relationship like that. Unfortunartly it won’t happen.
