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? ?

Happens to me too. I told my wife my bb doesnt want daddy. Haha. I feel so sad as well when it first happen, even thought i am not the one carrying her for 9 months or giving birth. But i paid for most if her expenses, milk powder, diapers, insurance , medical, toys , clothing etc... yet.. she doesn't want me.. cos all those things my bb definitely doesn't know.. anyway. I believe when bb grow up. She will know. For now she is only a kid... like most comment here says, at least my bb is close to relative and not some strangers.
