The mom and I are friends. And I thought the kids were friends, too, independent of the parents' relationship. I just felt a bit blindsided. Here I thought one thing about the kids based on my observations of their interactions and the other mother is telling me something different. Interestingly enough, she just called to ask me to take a two week long trip with them and said that it would be great to have us along, because she would love to have me around and her DD would really like to spend time with Boo.

I just don't know what to think at this point. I am just going to go with the flow and see if these recent comments re: watching/babysitting, etc. were just anomalies, which would explain why I was so taken aback by them, or if something else is going on and I missed the signals. I feel quite confused by all of it.
