[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I call BD on you, OP. you're focused on kids eating veggies and breaking toys. Anyone who's been in foster care or fostered kids knows how heavy this is emotionally. Most kids in foster care have experienced a lot of abuse. You're not dealing with those everyday parenting issues[/quote]

Simmer down. I gave examples that the majority of people here would understand. Dh and I focus on many different things with foster kids - from yes, eating vegetables, to anger management, to self-care, to [b]learning how to behave at a birthday party where none of the adults get drunk or threaten people with guns. [/b]

Not all kids in foster care have experienced a ton of abuse, btw. We've had several children who have come from single-parent homes where the parent has died or disappeared, but before that the child was showing up in school daily, eating decently, and going about a mostly normal childhood. Not all foster kids have been beaten and abused and come from poverty. [/quote]

Yeah...sure. Cause kids in foster care have only been to birthday parties in the hood [/quote]

Why the hostility toward the foster mom? If you are the same poster, and I suspect that you are, you've been needlessly hostile. 
Clearly you have a chip on your shoulder about this issue or you're trolling. 
If it's the former, spit it out. What's the deal? If it's the latter, go away. [/quote]
