Hello,
Up until a year or so ago I had a really good and fun relationship with my granddaughter. Now out of the blue she will start staring at me and ask me if it doesn't bother me to be old and ugly. She will also at times call me disgusting and gross and by the same token, that same evening she ask if she can sleep with me and cuddle up. I am neither old or ugly by the way but even if I were... It would have never crossed my mind to say such a thing to my gran who was actually really old by the time I was born. She loved me and I loved her and that's all I cared about. Another thing everyone has noticed is she never say hello or goodbye, not even to her own mother, not even if she goes away for a few weeks. Getting her to say please or thank you or sorry is also a struggle. She gets angry when not catered to the minute she asks for something. The other day a little friend told her about her grandpa falling and getting hurt. Now this little boy was upset as he clearly loves his grandpa dearly. My granddaughter simply replied "I don't care" in front of everyone present. When I asked her why she would say something like that, she simply replied "cause I don't". I would like to add that we spend a lot of time with her and we always, always have fun plans for her and with her. We've never gotten mad at her or raised our voices but her attitude is getting worse and I am not sure how to react anymore. I would really appreciate some thoughts on this. Thank you.
