But I'M the baby!!!

My grandmother is here for 10 days. The dynamic of our relationship seems to have changed, as I am no longer a child and now a parent. I see her interacting with the gnome as if she's the grandchild and I'm no longer a kid. Of course this is all true, but it's weird. The last time I saw my grandmother was at my wedding and I was still her baby, all grown up. Now I'm not even that- its like I don't even matter. I'm not upset really, but it is a weird feeling. There was only one moment that really offended me, and that was when my grandmother told the gnome that if the gnome wasn't here my grandmother "wouldn't even bother" coming out here to see me. Ouch. Though my relationship with her has always been, uh, different...
