Fantasize does not mean sexual all the time...you all must have your heads in the gutter.

There are no boundary issues at all in our relationship. She's a great friend of mine and I look up to her as a mother of the children I spend all day with. CALM DOWN EVERYONE.

Bitter nannies don't like nannies who have good MB relationships I guess...

Yeah maybe OP used the wrong word but the word 'creepy' popped into my head as I read the title.

OP, dont worry, people just enjoy being unpleasant on here. I think it is perfectly natural to look up to MB. I have a great relationship with my MB, I see her kind of as an older sister. We tell each other everything, I mean come on, we see each other at least 5 days a week! I often find myself thinking about her and her family during my off time- like I would any other family member-- Probably even more so because of the amount of time we spend together and effort we put into our relationship. I can tell that she loves me and I am a part of the family. As you know, it is such a special feeling. Let your relationship evolve- I've learned so much about love, relationships, work, family, and children from MB and this job, and it has been invaluable to me. I have learned so much about how I want my future family to function (I'm 25, and still learning) so I would definitely say I idolize MB for the way she parents, acts as a wife, boss and working woman. They say that the person you fall asleep thinking about is the person you love- well this may sound extremely creepy (and I'm ok with that), but I think about my charges and their parents a lot before bed time. I'm always so happy to see other nannies who have relationships with their nanny families as I have because I am so unbelievably happy working for them. I look forward to work every single day! It's not even like work, and I should give my amazing charges most of the credit for that. Never stop having fun OP!

Weirdo. Seriously you're creepy. And I'm not bitter at all, my MB and I have a great relationship and I look up to her for what she has accomplished in her life, but I would never use the word "fantasize", sexual or not. The fact that you imagine being just like her is creepy. Keep that shit to yourself!

Also, why would you ever want to be just like someone else? I can see that you might love to have a similar type of job, the same time of relationship with your own kids that she might have with hers, be able to afford their type of home, etc. But you really don't know your MB enough to even be able to say that you want to be just like her. Even good friends don't know every little thing about each other, and she is just your boss not best friend for the last 15 years. She could have an eating disorder, be addicted to prescription meds, not have a great relationship with her husband (maybe just putting on a show for other people's benefit), and so on.

I also agree that fantasize is a strong word. That means that you are seriously thinking about this in your off time, quite often and I don't know anyone who would do much more than maybe have a fleeting thought now and then about how much they wish they could afford to buy great shoes like MB does. No one spends many minutes fantasizing about stuff like that, unless they are a bit more mentally out of it. So even if not taking it sexually, yes, it is very weird and creepy.

That's the only word I found unsettling, the rest of your post seemed fine Now that you've clarified I don't think it's that odd, it's nice you admire your MB.
