I agree with everyone, she sounds immature. Once you have a child, OF COURSE they are always first. She must be out of her mind to turn giving her and your child affection into a battle for affection. It's not an attitude that I think you'll see change any time soon. If it really comes to a "choice", you know what you have to do. She's pretty stupid to put things that way, as it's very clear who you'll "choose".
As if you even have a choice. How ridiculous.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
