Ok so I work beside a VERY un-telligent older woman. She is argumentative, doesn't carry her own weight and is generally unpleasant to be around especially 12 hours a day. Lately she has complained that the expected work load is too much and is looking for a less labor intensive way to make money. So NOW she is trying to be a foster parent. She is in her mid sixties, divorced, works a low paying full time job and lives in an apartment. I wouldn't let this woman adopt a dead goldfish. Not only that..... Now she says she wants two so they will keep each other company and she won't have to "entertain" them. I swear to god she sounds like she's going to the pound to pick out puppies. she also decided which foster agency she wanted to go through by the pay out to the fosters. Now.... Should I just not get involved or should I warn local foster agencies...? Part of me knows she will quit this job and I will be rid of her but standing by and watching this completely violates my maternal instincts. These are CHILDREN not moneymakers. She has raised two sons but I don't think she realizes she can't cuss and spank and threaten these foster kids........ So.. Input?



Always

I would report her to state social services. You can do this anonymously by calling in and just letting them know what she has in mind. This will prevent her from fostering un til she has been investigated.

You need to save ME! I'm available for adoption.




Actually, if the situation is as you perceive it, it should show itself to any of the many agencies that now are getting much closer scrutiny since the lady thought she could get in Macy's return line. That may leave you with a not-so-great work buddy but that's better overall than the option.

Ring. The agencies will assess and decide, but it's important that the flag is raised.
