Title says it all really
Since our last lo left a few weeks ago Dh and I have endlessly discussed whether to carry on as Fc's.
Her leaving affected us both badly, probably due to her difficult start in life and how intensely we worked with her for so long.
I have a supervision meeting due in a week or so and I'll probably tell my sw then.
We very much want to see our current lo on to his adoption next month but I'm worried they'll move him instead so I'm considering just keeping quiet until he leaves
It hasn't been an easy decision and I've dithered about it some days but we aren't getting any younger and the paperwork and training seems neverending and often not even geared to our age group.
I get tired of hearing sw's speak of manditory training when we are, in effect unpaid childcare.
I think the last straw was being "told" I "must" attend a course on "managing difficult behaviour" we foster newborns for gods sake!
