How do you get over the sinking feeling you get when a child is going back home even though is clear the parent cannot cope.
I also fear i am being ignored not because they don't agree because if they looked more closely they would have to halt the whole thing
fc is very close to going back to live with parents, either way fc would not be staying here, but so close to going home i would of imagined that dad would have been of a better standard as my son would say hes not match fit
he asked me last week weather a 6 year old should be eating dinner with a knife and fork or should they be using the hands also felt that 12;30 was a suitable bed time for a 6 year old, was also surprised to learn 6 years old don't require nappies when he asked i thought he was joking
a parent and child placement was floated around but to be honest we all know once that happens the chances of them being able to ok the move will go down so i think their basically just hoping it works out installing lots of support for 6 months (basically people to do it for him) then hoping for the best when asked what would happen if it didn't work out the answer was well she get popped on the at risk register 
when i asked the sw if she is at least 50% happy that dad knows what he is doing their was a long pause the waffle about support workers
even the contact worker is still having to step in because he is not able to cope yes he still having supervised visits because be cant cope but apparently he will be ready in 2 months to take her home wtf
#at this stage one would think the parent should be at a level they should be having unsupervised contact.
i don't want to hand fc over to someone who thinks 12;30 is a ok time for a 6 year old to bed gurrrrrr
