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? ?

Don't be sad. Same here. I spent more time with my baby and play with him a lot too. However, when he is not feeling well and cried non stop, only mil can stop him. Mil play with him every evening for one hour. I dont mind he prefer granny over parents as long mil don't overly control my baby
