[quote=Anonymous]I have loved all my parents. Even with difficult children. I have had good relationships with all of them. This is because I view their kids as my own, tell them that, and they know I have their childs' best interest at heart with any decision I make. I try not to badger but make aware any concerns in a professional manner. I also go above and beyond for my families: some were wealthy but dealing with coping and personal tragedy. Others were struggling in the worst way. I would listen, let them vent, help them look for jobs, temp housing, help with aging or sick parents ( I went through that so knew what to do), found free grief therapy for a child and Dad who lost a Mom, gave my own kids' clothes to a child I adored but were penniless and living with terrible fosters, and bought lunch for a child with no food at home. People have problems and need help. See past defensiveness and offer a helping hand. Learn why they hover over their baby: they might have paid dearly to have him or her, listen, and never judge.
