That sucks that they told the parents a very different version of what happened. However, it is understandable as we have all done this at some point ( misinterpreted a situation). I'm glad to hear the parents discussed this with you instead of just believing the story and pulling from your care. It sounds like they are satisfied with the discussion and are happy with the care you provide. I would try my hardest to let this go and move on. You did nothing wrong and nothing bad happened and it doesn't sound like the parents are holding a grudge.
I wouldn't let this stop me from going on outings. I would go crazy if we stayed home all the time lol. People are going to judge, it's human nature to do so. Let them.
We have a local forum that people can post threads on much like this. It's a gossipy site and often has "dear the person who did this or that" threads and goes on to criticize that persons actions. Well one day in the summer I only had a pair of siblings and I took them out for lunch. Long story short, the 6 year old had to use washroom and the 2 year old was at the table eating. The 6 year old came back because he wouldn't use washroom by himself so I made the decision to quickly run him there but told him he'd have to go in alone and make his way back to the table because I couldn't leave his brother long. When their mom picked up I told her that if a thread popped about this horrible person and their parenting that it was me! She laughed and said she would have done the same thing.
