Okay, so he's perfectly fine when his parents leave his sight, but when I do, he starts screaming like an unholy demon from hell.
Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? Like, aren't babies supposed to be more upset about their parents leaving their sight, rather than some rando?

It sounds like your nephew might like you more than his own parents.

Didn't you say before that you're his primary caretaker? It's really not surprising at all, you're taking on a role that infants naturally see their parents in. Same thing that happens with adoption, you don't have to be the biological parent for a baby to see you as a parent.

Same thing that happens with adoption, you don't have to be the biological parent for a baby to see you as a parent. I guess I never thought about it like that. My sister always says that since she's his mother, she has a strong connection with him, and I don't doubt that at all, she actually misses him when she's away from him, and what not. She said that her husband has the bond too, but I'm not sure about that. As for me, I like him better than other children, but I don't particularly feel anything towards him, which is awful, I know, considering he's family, but I'm sure that will change when he gets older, I don't know.

Yeah. They might have the connection with the baby but the baby doesn't reciprocate since you have been taking care of him.
Man that poor kid is gonna have so many attachment issues.

I've been teaching preschool and toddlers and the kids definitely do scream for whoever they consider their 'parent'. It seems like he's bonded to you with that role. Your sister has got to wake up man. This has the beginnings of a really complicated family dynamic...

Leapkit I know, it makes me really sad. I mean, I grew up in a family, where no one was affectionate or even really paid any attention to anyone, unless they were yelling, and we all know how well that turned out. I hope it can still be different for him ~Absol~Wolf~Scribe~ I keep telling her that these are the most important bonding years

Yeah it’s because you spend so much time with him.
