The relationship of a parent with a child can sometimes be tinged with overwhelm, because it is a 24/7 job that few skate through gracefully. Blessed are the children who have a relationship with another, childless, adult. That adult is more likely to relate to them as a person, without that tinge of overwhelm. It is truely a blessing. I speak from the perspective of a single mom of a beautiful girl who had a few of my friends become my daughter's special friends. Magic can happen with this situation. And so much the better that you are part of the family. Have a great time with those kids.
