hi everyone, its basically what the title says, I nanny for a 16 month old 3 days a week for 6 hours, her mom works from home so when she is done working she comes down and i give her the baby and wave bye to her and say see you____. The issue is really that NK starts to cry when I hand her to mom and she reaches for me. i dont think it has anything to do with her mom being mean to her or her not liking being with her mom, its more just we do fun things together and I do whatever she wants lol, but the first couple of times it happened MB said things like " but NK mama is here" or "you and mama are gonna have fun" and it very obviously bummed her out a bit but today at hand off NK cried and MB looked at me and said "can you please stop handing my baby to me crying, Im her mom not you" I tried to respond saying that I understood and I think we just have a lot of fun and she doesn't want to stop playing and her response was "well me and her have fun too so not sure where you got that we don't have fun" I think this is only coming from a place of hurt and not true anger but i don't know what to do, i cant just not have fun with the kid
