    Default Getting too attached to a baby!

    I have cared for a baby full time since Oct. He is tiny and adorable. Much younger loooking and smaller for his age. He has fitted into my family so well and we all love him! He has unfortunately been ill on and off since starting and today had a temp of over 39 so mum collected. I've worried about him all night, my oh thinks I'm mad lol. Tell me I'm not really a bunny boiler!

    No you're not a bunny boiler. We choose this profession because we are caring types. You could have a lesser bond with a child and still worry when they are poorly

    No, you're not a bunny boiler - or if you are, then the majority of us are one too
    Probably be more concerned if you WEREN'T bothered about LO being poorly
