[quote=Anonymous]The parents I work for have both had a really difficult year work-wise.  This means that I am working long hours with my 9mo charge and because DC is so young I am definitely the primary attachment figure (It is compounded by the fact that, due to medical issues, MB was unable to breast feed and needed help during maternity leave so I have been with them since DC was 2 weeks old and there's not the "only Mommy smells like breast milk" factor.  Now DC is starting to get into the stranger anxiety/clinginess stage and I can tell is going to go to me for comfort more than others, including grandparents and parents most of the time.  Anyone been in this situation?  I know that this is just a phase and that DC will have a different "favorite" person in a few months, but I don't want my NPs to feel hurt by his behavior/preference.

And please no trolls about how they don't see their kid enough.  They are loving and committed and hard-working parents who are just doing their best.[/quote]
