6 months old baby chooses MIL over me

When I went to fetch baby yesterday and I took baby over from MIL, baby started crying and stretched her arms towards MIL. I was so sad that baby chose someone else and doesn’t want me, I cried the whole night :( I felt angry and sad and kind of hated my MIL and baby. I feel like I put in so much effort to take care and play with baby.. yet she choose someone else :( I know she’s just a baby but I can’t help to feel this way... am I crazy? ? I told hubby I want to send baby to infant care instead to separate baby and MIL, and he thinks I am ridiculous.. am I? ?

Please don't feel sad dear. She's just a baby. Babies tend to stick to those that spend more time with them and not just that, they know those who actually love and care for them. It only shows your Mil loves her. Probably you don't spend more time with her due to work and the fact she chose Mil at that time doesn't mean you don't love or care for her. With time, as she grows older, she'd realise how special you are to her ( whether you are always away at work or not)and She'll show it.
