[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I may be the minority but I don't tell my charges " I love you". I work with young infant and toddler children. I was leaving one night after work and the mom tells her son ( speaking for him, he's 9 months) " I love you". I felt very awkward and didnt say it back. It was like an awkward moment when the guy you are dating says he loves you but you don't feel the same. [/quote]

I would be weirded out in your situation too. I've never said, "I love you," to any of my charges first and definitely wouldn't say it if the mom said it pretending to be the baby. But what will you do when the kids get old enough to say it themselves? It's funny you brought up the part about it being like a guy your dating says it when you don't feel the same. I've had that happen before and it was so awkward. I've had kids who I randomly babysit for tell me they love me and I didn't feel the same way. I said it back to them because I couldn't bear to hurt them and of course I care about them. [/quote]
