Awww hon, you aren't doing anything wrong. Your daughter is showing that your mom is a good grandma and they make memories together. I don't know if you grew up with your grandma close by or how close you are to her but a closeness of grandma/granddaughter is really a positive thing as long as grandma backs mom up and doesn't undermind her, which sounds like she is backing you up. My granddaughter is the same way, she wants grandma to put on her coat, grandma to take her potty, grandma to get her in and out of the car. Grandma's love is different then mommy's love, more calmer, more easy going but there is nothing that compares to a mother's love for her child. My daughter use to tell me "I like grandma better". I could have gotten upset and hurt by it but I would just smile and say "that is ok, your daughter will like me better then you too" which is true..lol. Grandma's have more patience and don't have to correct like mommy's do. Don't sweat it, just appriciate that your mother and daughter is bonding so nicely. I want to share you a poem I wrote when my granddaughter was born to sum up how a grandma/grandchild relationship is...
A Grandma’s Love
By S. Gose
Not all that long ago, I held my newborn son
Handsome and sweet, giggles and fun
I watched him grow into a fine young man
At 16, his love for Brianna began
Three years later, a gift they gave
A baby so sweet, my heart she did enslave
Emmalyne Lillian is as perfect as can be
Making a proud grandmother out of me
To hold her close and feel her touch
No other gift, could I enjoy this much
She giggles as I sing out of tune to her
It’s a greater gift then all the kings Myrrh
Around those little fingers she has me wrapped
Keeping me from house work, she has me trapped
I don’t mind, my house can wait
My little grandbaby and I have a date
I love you Emma, more then you could ever know
You touch my heart deep with the smiles you show
While no love can compare to that of a mother
There’s no better title to be then Grandmother
