grandmother issues

I am a mother of 3 kids. My oldest daughter is 4 going on 5. She is my mothers favorite since she was her first born grandaughter. My daughter is very attached to my mother an is very disobedient with me. Whenever she sees my mom she doesnt want her to leave. She has very bad tantrums. She has lasted up to 1 1/2 hours screaming to the top of her lungs. Ive tried talking to her, ignoring the tantrums an screams. She once scratched me since i wouldnt let her catch up to my mom. And just yesterday she grabbed my arm an bit me. My mother spoils her a lot an always underminds my authority as a parent. Please help me with this issue ... dont know what else to do.

The biting is not permitted and it would be a good idea to stop some privileges for it ...

Try to emulate what your mom is doing ask mom what games she lpays, maybe they have a good time, all you have to do is be the same as your mom, its great your daughter has such a good relationship,with her Gran,  so copy them ,no confrontations pay her attention, games and fun, you will find she will reciprocate ....

hi,
it is very hard to enforce your role as mum when someone overrules you all the time!
i have had similar problems with my son when he comes back from his fathers,he doesnt take any notice of me, its like all my hard work has gone to waste!!!!
I would suggest speaking to your mum, maybe having some boundaries like' i know you love your granddaughter ,but you have to respect my wishes and my way of parenting'
Good luck with that..be strong..love to know how you go..
