I've loved some of my charges and liked most of them.

Another MB here and I find your statement so very strange. I want the best for my child and the best is someone who is devoted to him and wants what is best for him. Yes, I am sure that involves missing him and thinking about him when she is not with him. How could it not?

This sums it up for me as well. Usually the ones I am their with from birth.

What do you mean?

I believe that Americans use word "love" way too often (I'm European). I care about my charge, I keep him happy, safe, fool, rest all day. I don't think about him when I am not with him, I don't miss him when I am not with him. I'm always happy to see him but that's all. I have my own child and that's a true love.

I understand what you are saying however I do truly love my charge by all measures. I do think about him when I am not with him and always start missing him on Sunday afternoon! I have my own child as well but she is grown.

You may believe we use the word too often, but that doesn't diminish the genuine love some of us feel. Unlike you, I did miss my charges when I stopped working for them. I have a "family name" the children call me, just like their bio aunts and uncles. I didn't love all of my charges - just these two and one other - but it is "a true love." Disclaimer: No I do not think it resembles parental love; it is more comparable to loving a niece or your BFF's son.

I meant full lol

Stop telling her.
