I had students who wanted me to be their mom because they didn't have any. I support ( not financially of course but by mentoring) few of my former students so they aren't children anymore yet still see me as a sub for moms they didn't have or had abusive ones. I don't encourage transference but to all honesty I am always there when they need something and their moms weren't. So I think the way you feel is normal. As long as it doesn't interfere with your life in any major way.
