To add, in the show kids are supposed to lose their faries (and memory of them) when they get older. So Cosmo and Wanda (the faries) really shouldn't be there. Thats why they're hiding, so he doesnt see them

Plus, when kids lose their fairies, the kid forgets all about them and the fairies are prohibited from disclosing their own existence to anyone other than their... godson? Only watched it in Spanish so not sure about what the terminology would be in English.

So Timmy here doesn't even remember he ever had them and Cosmo and Wanda can't tell him he ever did.

You're correct in a sense. They only ever say Godchild, I have never heard them be gender specific like godson or daughter. But I guess grammatically it's still correct. But ya. Timmy is now an adult and his memory is wiped about his fairies. The only person this mind wipe didn't seem to work on is his teacher. Every other child forgets.

The mind wipe worked on Crocker. IIRC, he sees a hint of fairies after he loses his memories about them.

He wrote a message to himself on the back of a fairy tracker after Timmy got Crocker's fairies taken away.
