Haley,
I have known you your entire life and am extremely distraught about recent events. I do and will continue to love you. For many years you have called me mom too, so I feel that I have the right to tell you how I feel. You were offered a great opportunity. Between the room, board, vehicle, car insurance, Internet and Cable, utilities, etc., it would take in excess of $20,000 a year job to have the same lifestyle. Actually probably even more.

No one has asked unreasonable things of you. Alicia knew ahead of time that you weren’t the best housekeeper. However, what she didn’t know was that you think that it is someone else’s job to do everything for you. To cook for your child, clean the house, take out the trash, shop, and even to pick up after you. The stories that I’ve been told about you sitting around on the computer for hours while the girls played unattended downstairs are astounding. Alicia came home day after day to a filthy house in which nothing was done. Your job as a nanny was a bare minimum effort at best. I do not understand how you think it can be okay to spend hours in the morning in bed while three small children walk around unattended, unfed, and unwatched. Sophia resorted to peeing on her bedroom floor in the morning until she was taught by Alicia to go upstairs and use the potty by herself. She is three, hello. Both Karly and Viv were left in dirty diapers for hours at a time, ew!!! I pray that nothing bad happens to Karly. She should not be treated this way every day. You also left them to do nothing educational or constructive, but to watch TV for hours. Have you even looked up developmental stuff about Karly. You should, because she is behind and needs better attention."
