[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, how about considering the impact you're making on the child's life?  They may not "remember" you, but surely, the lessons you're teaching the child now will stay with him/her for the rest of his/her life.  [/quote]
I agree. I know that caregivers of babies and young children have a permanent and profound effect if you've been longterm.[/quote]
I am not sure that's true. I was with the same group of caregivers age 1 through 5, and I don't remember a single thing about them.  I love my Mom, though, and we are very close.  [/quote]

OP here- That is my fear.[/quote]

OP I don't want to sound insensitive here, but it seems-from everything you have said, the FaceTime, your fears of not being remembered, and your unwillingness to realize your true role here- that you have some issues that are bigger than what's being discussed here. You need to come up with some clear boundaries and a way to cope with the fact that this job will, indeed, one day end and you will be eventually forgotten (or unimportant at the very least).  This is the nature of the profession and it is perhaps not the best one for you if it's causing you so much anguish. Speak to someon
e who knows you or to a professional, you need a bit more help then some random, anonymous forum commentary. [/quote]

The fact that you don't wish to share who took care of you during your first year of life, is INCREDIBLY revealing.[/quote]
