Question by Tammy -: Need help with writing a letter to a group of day care parents?
This is a long story but I will try and keep it short and simple. Some background first. I was working at a daycare for almost 5 years, I watched my boss fire many employees and treat them well not very well. I thought we had a good relationship though and we worked well together. We had two levels; she had the license for level 1 I had the license for level 2. I was supervisor and for a short while when my boss decided that she wanted to try her feet at something else I ran the daycare without her. Recently we downsized to where it only took two people to run the day care. This meant that neither one of us could be sick or gone without it inconveniencing the families. Well this past October my Mother In Law was diagnosed with Cancer and was scheduled for surgery. Of course I wanted to be there with the family and my husband so I took time off. This put my boss in a bind, she had to call families and tell them to find alternate care for two days. When I got back from out of state there was a message on my answering machine that I was taken off the schedule. That there was an accusation made on me that I hit a child. Well first of all that is not true, and I have been clear of it. Here is what I am doing now, I want to write a letter to all the parents of the kids that I took care of and let them know the outcome of the investigation as I know my X Boss will not inform them. And I don’t want them to think the accusation was true. I also don’t want to slander my boss so here is the part I am unsure of. Can you look it over and let me know if it is slanderous or if this can be said in a better way. Thanks in advance

I do not agree with the way J??? chose to handle this situation. I feel hurt and betrayed. The way she handled it and treated me was in my opinion a greedy move. J??? informed me that the reason she let me go was because if other parents got wind of the investigation that they would pull their kids out of the day care. I did not agree, I felt that she was treating me guilty without any facts or proof. I feared that my reputation was ruined no matter the outcome of the investigation. For those reasons decided that I would not be able to return to __________ day care. This was a hard decision for me as I will truly miss all the children, all the laughs, all the hugs, and yes even all the squabbles that come with taking care of several different children at once. During my time away from the day care I have come to realize that my services were not appreciated by J??? . I was not worried about the investigation at all since I knew that I didn’t do anything wrong and I trusted the team at Child Protection Services to find the truth.

Paula, I understand what your saying and agree for the most part. However the parents do know of the accusation as I have received phone calls at home from three parents. Also the social worker that works with the day cares in our area agrees that a letter like this (there is more than what I posted) is appropriate.

If I wouldnt have received those phone calls at home, then I probably wouldnt be thinking of a letter.

The only thing really wrong with it is the word greedy which is not the correct word in that context. I think what you are trying to say is either that it was a selfish move or an unreasonable move or a deceitful move or a dishonest move.

If you read my previous question. What do you think of this letter?

“Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for
hands that are not there”-Otomo No Yakamochi

Dear Christopher,

Finding myself with a busy day I took the morning and now afternoon
off to write you this letter. Because I felt it necessary and I told
you that it would be delivered today. You will find it to be
straight-forward, with exposed emotions, respectful, sincerely-honest,
and humble. There is no psychological undertones here of faux
confidence or manipulative wording within the body of this text.
Realizing that confidence is more attractive than illuminating
feelings it is more appealing for a letter of this type. Me being a
straight-forward person I wrote a complete understand of myself,
actions, and resolve if possible. As the threads of this conflict are
bound by mistakes I am trying with these words to correct them and in
time I hope you will see in action.
1. I did the ground-tour to help your mom, because she means so much
to you. Never did I try to befriend your mother to get to you. As it
could appear that way, it is not. My relationship with your mother
came from me enjoying talking with her and not having a supportive
mother. Christopher, my mom handed out Xanex during a family
conversation while I was home. Ruth told me that she never could
understand “my world” and that I would never be able to make her
proud. It is nice to have an ego boost from someone as successful and
driven as myself. It was my own vicarious way of finding support for
a very demanding career and life.
2. Never did I dishonor your privacy and if I said anything I should
not have it was not purposeful, but a simple mistake.
3. Always I went back and forth trying to leave and pulling myself
back. The repeat of conversation was instilled within me by
Stephanie. I never meant it to manipulate you. While on this topic
whatever seemed manipulate ways never was such. It was me trying to
make sense of a very difficult situation for myself. The mistake was
I did not edit the thought process in a sterile model. What now seems
is I brought you along for the ride? When in actuality I was just
trying to find a safe common ground. Then I got frustrated and the
hamster wheel in my head, no I don’t have rodents in my brain, kept
moving faster for answers. But there never was one that made sense.
Perhaps fear of the past kept one foot in and one hand on the door
knob.
4. I am not perfect and I make mistakes. For those I am sorry, but
they are not as complex as you would think them to be. The anger text
was me just having enough frustration and no control. This is so not
me. Looking back I wish I had been more quiet and refrained. Lesson
learned in this learning curve of life. But I don’t have a time
machine. So it happened and I am sorry if it caused you distress or
loose a follicle of hair.
5. Further explanation is from outside observation it would seem
manipulative behavior. Especially with “text fight” I think I am
cancelling text. Note to self call Sprint. Little nervous and this
is hard to write. It is like this I think sub-concisely I used the
back and forth as a control factor. But I never meant it to be. I am
very sorry for this.
6. What could be easily mistaken as jealousy was two things. First, it
was to get a better understanding of you. That is why I asked you
questions in that letter. Second, was protection. The pending
Facebook question was to see why “you said you had no gay friends” yet
did you have this one. I was trying to understand you. Clearly, I
should not have tried. I am so proud you have so many friends and
like mine I appreciate their qualities they bring forth. My take on
jealousy is a negative energy. This is where kI say whatever everyone
should have freedom to have fun. For that is what life is about to
have a helluva good time without limitations. Don’t you think?

If this letter seems to be getting intense, its not, but merely me
vomiting thoughts of a somewhat organized letter to give myself
closure and you understanding. People say wait it out blah, blah,
blah. It is I who takes the road less traveled and let you know the
way it is. This is written not as a pitch letter or a plea to come
back into my life. It is to allow growth and understanding of mankind
at large and what we learned benefits us both. At least I think so.
When I met you at the corner in Union Square, side note a smile just
came to my face, I was like he is good looking now let’s see if he
talks and how he acts. When I looked at your beautiful blue eyes at
Subway with my foot long and your 6 inch sub feelings began to emerge.
I felt something and then when I kissed you I had this feeling in my
heart. Yes, I am metaphysical and very in tune and touch with my
emotions. But it was kismet to m
