[quote=Anonymous]Almost every week my charges want to engage in pretend play where I'm the "mommy." And I would say about half the time it's when their mom is at home. We engage in pretend play almost daily which I know they love and I do too. But I get really uncomfortable when they want me to pretend I'm their mom. I normally make suggestions like I could be the babysitter, teacher, auntie, mommy to the baby doll etc. Most of the time they are fine with it but a few times, including today, they get adamant that they want me to be the mommy. When this happens I normally suggest that we be some type of animal, like dogs, bears or monkeys. As I never want the mom to overhear her children calling me mommy even when it's pretend play. Am I being overly cautious about this? Moms, would you be upset if you heard your children calling your nanny mommy even during pretend play? If so, can you think of another way for me to handle this better? Nannies, have you ever had this happen and if so, what did you do? [/quote]
