[quote=Anonymous]I didn't think we were crossing boundaries but my mom feels that we are. I have been my nanny family for four years and am "obsessed" with my kidlets. I am with them for over 50 hours a week and can't get enough. I love to play and teach them and wonder what they are doing when I am not there. I leave the house with a heaviness and really look forward to the next day to see them. I know it sounds corny but they really make the sun shine for me. They have become my little world. I feel as if I am a second mom to them and the middle even calls me mom 2 (I was tempted to discourage it but I thought it was the cutest and have let it ride). The oldest has even said she wishes I were her mom; I would never tell her mom but I sometimes secretly wish this as well. I am not creepy and would never try to tear them away from their mom. At night and on the weekends I constantly text to see what "my" kids are up too and the parents send me the cutest pictures. I missed them so much over Thanksgiving and on Christmas that I came over and spent the majority of the day playing with the kids. For Christmas, my NF gave me some pictures in frames of their kids and I have hung them on my walls at home- I have pictures of them up since I started when they were babies (This is one of the things that my mom says is strange and crossing the boundary. That they shouldn't give me big pics of the kids like that and I shouldn't be hanging them up on my walls). In my free time, I make scrapbooks of the kids and myself with pics and artwork. When I go to the store I pick up things that they will love (I never ask to be re-reimbursed).  I do not get paid a fair wage and only stay because of my love for my kids and the thought of leaving them is heartbreaking to me and I am sure that the kidlets would be devastated to lose me as well and may not recover. The parents have continually said that I am a part of their family and I do feel loved like another daughter. I am secretly hoping that they get pregnant again so I can have another little nugget to love and nibble on. Sorry for the long post!
Am I wrong and crossing the line or is this normal and I just have a good relationship with my second family?[/quote]
