Well as most of you know I had left the working world about a year and a half ago to pursue my BS in Education. Now as fewer of you know about 6 months ago my wife had become dead set on us becoming Foster parents for a local children in need group. This is not something that I was ambitious about and the additional financial burden meat that school had come to a end and I have entered unsuccessfully the current job market. I was really hoping the wife was going to wait for me to find employment before taking on the added responsibilities. Well Friday we received our first Foster child. She is 7 and a total handful. She came from another foster family that needed a break. The weekend went fine and I guess today the honeymoon was over. Since she goes to school out side of our school district so I have to drop her off and pick her up each day. Today she refused to go to school and also refused to listen to a single thing I had to say. My lord I wanted to pull my hair out. As a foster parent the is not a lot of options available in disciplining a child, try to out wit a stubborn 7 year old who has reduced her replies to "no" and "shut up". I took me 5 hours to get us back to civility. I hope I find the rewarding experience in this, I really do.
