athomeontheprairie Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I nanny for a little boy. 5 days a week, 9 hours a day. I've had him two years. He's little and he's my little guys best friend. And he's moving. Not yet, but soon. My heart is breaking. I feel like I can't breathe. He's not mine-i know that. But I've treated him like mine for two years. I can't breathe. I feel like a part of my heart is being ripped out. My dh doesn't really understand-he wasn't the one caring for him after all. My kids don't know, the adults don't want it public knowledge yet. Sigh. Since we ruin in a very close group-i can't even say anything to my close friends. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Mouse Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I understand. For two years, I took care of a neighbor's daughter from about 6ms old until almost three years old. My DS treated her like the little sister he never had. She was part of the family. (took some stuff out for privacy). Anyway, the father took the kids and left town (completely justified) but I still miss the little girl and get teary eyed just thinking about what happened to her and her family. I hope she is doing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 My mom took care of 2 boys (brothers) for several years before their sister was born and their mom decided to stop working. She was a bit sad when they stopped coming to the house. That was about 40 years ago; she still keeps in touch with them. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs_JWM Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I'm so sorry. He is special to you - and you to him - and that is beautiful. I hope you'll keep in touch, but I know it's not the same. Take time to grieve. Sent from my XT1049 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I think that is very understandable. I'm sure he'll miss you too. Sorry. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madteaparty Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Sorry. My kids and I miss their nanny. But we still see her and go camping with her. How far are they moving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

displace Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I'm sorry. He was so fortunate to have someone who truly cared for him to take care of him. You've probably been a blessing to the family in many ways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatieJ Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) 2 weeks ago , my DD family moved 600 miles away with 4 precious grandkids. My 3 year old granddaughter whispered "I love you. I really love you" as I was tucking her into her car seat just before they drove away. I'm still not breathing . I understand.

If you can, I'd try to get some video of you and your son and him interacting together. It will be a little comfort (and pain) when he's gone.

BooksandBoys Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Hugs. Five months ago, we were the family driving away from our best friends, the people we loved like the best of family and played with 5 days a week. Some days, I can breathe now, but only some. It hurts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
