Anybody ever have foster kids?

[SouthtownKid]

I never understood the name "foster kids". I thought foster was Australian for beer, mate.

edit: ah, fuck, I did not notice steven already made this joke.

 

[famicommander]

Have no idea why you think I don't understand how fostering works.

It might be because your posts suggest you don't know how anything works.

I am honoured to have shared the same dad joke thought.

Oh thanks Captain Obvious.

Based on your first post.

 

[SouthtownKid]

Based on your first post.

and each subsequent post

Maybe not Woody Allen.

If the parenting thing doesn't work out just marry them

 

[GregN]

I heard black women do this a lot.

If you do it, it will be a challenge. Unless you're an actor with millions of dollars, you will get retarded kids, psychotic/disabled kids, black, asian kids. Plus you can't be too old or work at McDonalds. YOu have to pay 6 figures to adopt kids. Or so I've heard.

Based on your first post.

Oh OK then.

I was married for almost 15 years, for 10 of that we couldn't have kids and applied to be foster parents.
Took the state almost a decade to get back with us.

We had this last one for almost two years, she just went back to her family a couple days ago.
I'm happy, kids should be with their families whenever possible.
Ex is sad about it, wants another one.

Also this one was annoying as hell and bossy.
Also a PITA about eating. Only wants to eat nacho's, ramen and chicken nuggets.
Often times I would ask what they want and cook it for them and they don't eat it.
Same with going to restaurants. One time I ordered bulk Asian food, pretty much just what she wanted.
Then I gave her just what she asked for with the portions sizes she wanted. Didn't touch it.
Then every-time I made other kids plates she would comment on it, specifically eggrolls.
Sounded like she was jealous everybody else got them as well not just her.
I've been suffering from food insecurity recently and it makes the whole thing worse.

We are divorced now, so I just have the kids say on weekends, holidays emergencies (when daycare is closed or people get sick)
During these emergency situations I have to watch her kid too.
Four kids is too much for me.
I think that was a big part of the reason she left, I only wanted two kids max.

Anybody ever date social workers?
Many of them are single women.
Maybe they can't or haven't had kids yet and the job fills some sort of maternal instinct, dunno.

Cons:
They don't make much money and work can be unstable.
They can also be mentally unstable, maybe that's why they're single in the first place.
Also the shit they have to deal with in the field and the drama and office politics don't help I'm sure.

 

[Lagduf]

Is English your first language?

Sure. That was the reason.

Not sure why you wouldn’t start with this instead of your first post which bordered on unintelligible.

Kudos for fostering kids.

TMI IMO

Was trying to avoid too many comments from the penis gallery.
Lot's of unfuckable incels on here.
Could imagine them posting some lame ass cringy shit trying to be king edgelord.
I was aiming more for the intelligent rational crowd who have the ability to infer.

Probably best not to share anything personal on here.
Lot's of cancel culture warriors weirdo's here who copy/paste & screenshot crap and bring up old stuff.

For instance I shouldn't have ever mentioned I was a veteran.
There was lots of threads about Iraq /Afghanistan/The war on terror.
I felt I had some sort of insight because I spent three years there.
I could tell people what I personally experienced but nobody gives a shit about that kind of stuff these days.
That type of crap.
Everybody just likes to live in their own echo chamber.

For instance I was at a baseball game the other day and got a beer and some nachos and other snacks for my kids.
The guy in front of me tells me I need to buy him a beer and nachos cause he fought in Iraq.
What? That's ludicrous. Everyone knows that shits for suckers and losers.
If I do that type shit then I deserve the hate.

Anyways now a bunch of people on here like to play the classicist card that I have mental problems.

Rant over

GO FUCK YOURSELVES

 

[Claudia Schiffer]

Objectively false.

call me crazy, i picture a woody allen type situation when reading this from xavier

are you sure you aren't misinterpreting the situation (if it really happened), due to your condition?

Too late for that for all of us.

I don't see much difference between the way you've treated me and if I asked you if if the state allows you to have a drivers license.
You Asians can't see over the steering wheel and your all squinty eyed too.

Now that's not real and it's not how I feel either

You're probably Sylvies alt account.
We got in an argument before the ban and things here have been worse since.

 

[Xavier]

What's my condition?

How could I have misinterpreted it?

 

[Claudia Schiffer]

What's my condition?

the same one that had you tell this story. fami reminded me. i'm paraphrasing somewhat:

"hey you backed into a tree with your truck. you look like a man that knows how to handle himself...please fuck my underage daughter!"

There's some sort or push that veterans make good teachers, it's been around awhile
I don't understand it.

Grandpa was in the Air Corp as a RTO/Tech asstitant gunner/bomb pusher during WW2.
When the war was over they told him he needs to be a teacher so he did.
He met grandma at a Catholic school. She was a teacher as well.
Last job he had was student dean at the Arizona institute of technology.
Then he was a cable repairman for a couple years and retired.

You all see that movie The Tommarrow War on Amazon a couple years ago?

Good teachers must participate, lead from the front, roll up their sleeves and be in the trenches with students.

Somehow this isn't the most racist post in this thread.

how were you somehow solicited with these teaching opportunities for kindergarten kids? did you back your truck into azalea bushes?

Career fairs
VA job placement services

There's a huge problem getting anybody to teach these days.
Maybe if it paid more and there wasn't all the drama surrounding it and they fixed some of the duties involved.

Locally they tried to make all teachers have a graduate degree (public schools, private schools can do whatever they want)
and then also get a teaching certificate. That didn't work out so well. Now they're waiving the certification and recruiting people who could be undergrads in the next year and a half.
