[quote=Anonymous]I've posted on a couple of childcare websites trying to gather as many opinions as possible too see if my situation is appropraite or not.

So just a little background before I get to my main point.

I was working for a family for around 20months before I was very unexpectedly let go. I was called about an hour after I got home from working and fired on the spot without any warning. Now, I was shocked to say the least. I had worked with the family for so long and honestly believed I had a good relationship with the mom. I always accommodated the family schedule, stayed later, came early, and worked weekends. I was let go for calling in too many times. After the shock of being fired wore off I went through my schedule and realized I had missed 4 days over a span of about 5 months, which doesn't seem like a lot to me personally.

Now, my current problem is that all of this happened about 5 months ago and I still feel like I never got any proper closure in the situation. So I just need advice on how to handle myself and what to do. I was very attached to the little girl I cared for. (I was there for her first steps, words, sitting up, etc.) With the exception of a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year etc. text messages I haven't had any contact with the family. I've been thinking of contacting the mom and seeing if she wants to meet for coffee or lunch? I would love to see the little girl and just catch up. It's been a long time but I don't know if this is considered inappropriate. If it is, what can I do to help myself move on?

Please help![/quote]
