This woman is currently in a relationship with her 30-year-old boyfriend, and he has an 11-year-old daughter named Hailey from a previous relationship.
When Hailey was 1, Hailey’s mom walked out of her life, leaving her boyfriend a single dad. The thing is, though, her boyfriend wasn’t really able to step up and be an involved parent to Hailey back then, but thankfully, he had already hired a nanny when Hailey was 6-months-old.
Hailey’s nanny, Laura, was invited to move in with them, and Laura was the one who raised Hailey. To this day, Laura is still Hailey’s nanny and living in her boyfriend’s house.
“Laura is very close with my boyfriend’s family,” she explained. “She’s with the family every holiday, and honestly, I think they like her better than me. My boyfriend says she’s become a good friend over the years, and he and Laura go out at least once a month.”
“And Laura is extremely involved in Hailey’s life. She’s room mom at her school (I didn’t know you could be room mom without being a mom), she’s at every play, concert, soccer game, etc., and she even goes to Hailey’s therapy appointments.”
“Hailey doesn’t do anything for herself because of Laura. Laura wakes her up, packs her backpack and lunch and does her hair every morning, and does homework with her every afternoon. She tucks Hailey in every night and sits with her until she falls asleep.”
Hailey is unbelievably close to Laura, and Laura feels the same way about Hailey. When Laura has her days off, she still will bring Hailey to do things with her.
She feels that Hailey has no interest in building a relationship with her or her boyfriend because Laura is in their way.
She decided to address this with her boyfriend, and she mentioned that she believes Hailey is way too clingy as far as Laura is concerned.
