[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the real world have you had people had negative commentary about you being a foster parent -- coworkers, friends, kids' friends parents who maybe don't want to send their kids to your house to play bc they don't know who will be around? How do you respond?[/quote] I've really only heard "I couldn't do that" or "Is it safe?" variations. We keep a close eye on our kids - transitions are hard for all kids - so whereas maybe if we didn't have any foster kids over we'd let our bio kids play with a friend unsupervised while we're in another room, when we have foster kids here we stay in the room (I'll sit on the couch reading or folding laundry or surfing the web while the kids are all playing on the floor for example - I keep them in my eyesight.
