To be honest, Karen, I was a little uncomfortable when I saw your original post that you weren't going to tell him. I do think he has a right to know something that potentially affects his kids. But keep it short and breezy, as Kat suggests here above.
I very much respect your opinion on stuff Pup, but still feel I did the right thing. H doesn't tell me anything that concerns the kids, and I do try to tell him everything that affects the kids that is his concern. I think it also would be different if I had a full-time job and not one that brings in about $200 a month. I think with economizing we'll be alright.
I did basically plagiarize your email, Kat but tried to put it into my words. So: Thank you for taking the time to express your concern. I talked with the kids and did tell them of my layoff due to budget cuts, but also told them that I was still looking and that we would be fine. I've set up the kids for an appt. Thursday so they can discuss any concerns they have with the therapist. Sorry I didn't add about the glasses & the snack b/c I just think parents make mistakes and we're human and I don't think that ever warrants an email, unless it was truly dangerous or something.
