[quote=Anonymous]I work for a very busy family, both parents work between 40 and 80 hours a week (in the medical field), usually opposite shifts.  I work 40+ hours a week, including dropping of at school, putting to bed, some overnight stays, and generally taking care of all aspects of the little ones life, when needed.

The family is great, the children are adorable (although very energetic) and I generally love my job, but at times I feel like this family is a little too comfortable with me at times.  Dad is notorious for still being in his underwear when I get to the house, yes...it's his house, but it makes me so uncomfortable.  I take extra precautions to keep a solid distance from DB, just for my own personal reasons.  I don't feel comfortable around men in general, especially ones who have some power over me and walk around in their underwear.  By no means does he seem "flirty" but he will put his hands on my shoulder, or call me "hon" which makes me shiver, but MB is the same way.  She's very touchy, calls me "baby" and just overly friendly at times, and I accept that some people are just like that, but I am extremely introverted and frankly don't like people touching me.  Every time one of them puts their hand on my back (innocently, I suppose) I feel my face turn bright red, and I just want to them to leave.  I'm having a hard time separating what is truly not appropriate and what is me being ultra sensitive (I've had lifelong issues with intimacy therefor it's hard for me to separate what truly is just someone being friendly and what is not appropriate.)  I'm truly not comfortable when MB and DB are home, they kiss DC on the lips, or put their pacifiers in their mouth and the thought of touching my employees mouth germs gives me high anxiety.

Oh, I don't want to give off the illusion that I'm detached and distant with the kids, I'm very physically affectionate with my DC, they are very young and I have no issues with kissing their cheeks or letting them sleep on me, it's just odd that their parents seem to have no qualms about personal space!
