Help! I Made a Big Mistake

I haven't heard anything else. I sent the health forms certified mail and then emailed her asking her not to contact me again. I did take down my parents facebook page and haven't really decided what I will do about that but I will get releases from everyone before I post anything again. I think the thing that really ****s is it's the first really bad experience I have had and I think it will change the relationships I have with the parents I have now. Lesson learned, I guess. The good news is the spot is already filled and all my kids are napping well againThe new kiddo's mom is a referral and I have met them several times through my previous job so I think she is going to fit in well.

My situation definitely had an impact on the way I view all parents. The set of parents that tried to screw me over in several ways when they left were always great! Until they left on bad terms. Now I trust NO ONE! In my eyes everyone is friendly until things don't go their way, then they use everything they can against you, going back the span of their entire time in your care. I am very cautious of everything I say, thinking, can this be turned around and used against me? Which totally stinks to think that way. But the truth is, everything we say can somehow me managed to be turned around against us or taken out of context.
Don't get me wrong, my current parents are great! But maybe that's because things are going great for them...if we meet a bump in the road, how will they react?- Flag

I think I will be much less free with what I say to them. I love that the families all get along but I don't think I will be as quick to help them get to know each other. I don't know, I am probably over reacting in the moment. I will likely have much more paperwork for the next round of families and be more careful to document things.- Flag

Luckily, I haven't had any bad experiences, but hearing of stories on here really makes one think!- Flag

My licensor is on my private facebook page as well. So far no problems but I will be making some adjustments to my permission form after reading this thread! People never cease to amaze me,- Flag

I don't do FB.
TOO much drama for me....and I really don't care what someone is eating for dinner or that long lines at Target frustrate them or that they got 500 "likes" for something.- Flag

the rule I follow as a professional is no photos of kids can be posted on the internet what so ever just used for the classroom or for parents that's it. I know at the head start I worked for we were not allowed to take pictures of the Kids at all. I would not post anymore pictures on social media sites and I would not give the parents copies of everything they signed they had a chance to make their own copies before turning it in!- Flag
