[quote=Anonymous]A lot of people here seem to say there should always be a boundary between your work and your personal life, and while I agree that it is probably best (it is a job after all), it always depends on the situation. I've had four long-term gigs and I was good friends with three of the mothers (and keep in touch still, years after), and it never backfired or became awkward. I regularly go see plays with my current mom boss. It doesn't add anything negative to our routine with the kids, other than 'that was great fun last night, email me when you think of what else we could see' when I come in the next day. My job is part-time now, and when I got promoted at my other job she took me out for a drink to celebrate. She and the kids have been to my band's concerts, we've gone ice skating together, I took the kids to the cinema and the mom joined us afterwards for ice cream and we hung out as friends. (And I could've left after she came and it wouldn't have been an issue).

There's nothing wrong with being friendly and having another person in your life you like. Of course as long as the mom boss isn't going to take advantage of your friendship but you can probably judge it already by how she treats you. Maybe I've been lucky, but it has never happened to me, and most of the people I've worked for were wonderful. [/quote]
