Read "Responses to 101 questions on the Bible" by Fr. Raymond Brown particularly. In his book, read the response to question 70 which mirrors your question. Here is the link below:

Also, in the Gospel according to St. Luke, he is totally aware of it. Consider Luke 2: 48-50 (NIV) below:
When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.” “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI gives a brilliant commentary on this in his "Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives" (Read the Epilogue of the book). The link for this book can be found below:

A key feature of what the former pope writes in his book is posted below:
"Jesus’ reply to his mother’s question is astounding: How so? You were
looking for me? Did you not know where a child must be? That he must
be in his father’s house, literally “in the things of the Father” (Lk 2:49)?
Jesus tells his parents: I am in the very place where I belong—with the
Father, in his house.
There are two principal elements to note in this reply. Mary had said:
“Your father and I have been looking for you anxiously.” Jesus corrects
her: I am with my father. My father is not Joseph, but another—God
himself. It is to him that I belong, and here I am with him. Could Jesus’
divine sonship be presented any more clearly?"
Working on a journey towards catholic at the moment, I felt a little less agnostic when I started to think of God as a whom, rather than as a what.
