Is foster parenting considered a job?

Because in Massachusetts, they don't want you to have a full time job, they say part time is okIs foster parenting considered a job?
As far as I'm concerned, any kind of parenting is a job. In my opinion, being a parent, is the hardest and most demanding job anyone will ever have. Being a parent means you are responsible for another human life 24/7 and there's not one cent to be gotten in a monetary value. What other non-paying job can anyone get where there is such a responsibility, and yet, the rewards can be so great and so few? Paying jobs are great but at the end of your shift, you can walk away and leave things as they were..then pick up the next morning right where you left off.


I love being a mom and a gramma. I wouldn't change the experiences I've been through for all the money in the world...the good and the bad.


Maybe they only want a foster parent to work part-time because the children will need someone there when they come home from school...not a sitter. Raising children isn't just being able to afford them. It takes alot of physical and emotional effort. And there's never, ever going to be a perfect parent.Is foster parenting considered a job?
It is a job raising a family no matte how that family was brought together. Here in Florida we can work in fact they kinda encourage you to work or have other income coming in because the board rates aren't always enough to cover all expenses. Now we have medical foster care and that is considered a job because you are billing medicaid for your services there for at least one parent is required to stay home. Also the salvation army has homes that they run with 1-2 parents and a certain number of kids. One parent has to stay home and they are paid workers for the salvation army but they provide the house, food, money for activities, etc.
I would guess they have that rule because some children in the foster system have mental/physical issues and need the extra attention. A foster child also needs the extra love and security of having 1 parent be their primary caregiver, instead of the care being from the parents and a daycare (who sometimes have high staff turn-over rates). Its all about the child's well being. A foster child just needs more, more time to adjust to a new family, rules, routine, and a new life.
Most foster care parents are compensated by the state. They have contracts. They must agree to be available to the child so many hours a week or month, so that is the part time work limitation. They are taking in the kids who usually come from problem enviroments. They need to be paying attention. There is a maintaince fee for clothing and shoes and school supplies also.


The child has state medical aid. Gas and transportation money varies. Most foster parents are not in it for the money though, one would hope. There have been some horrendous abuses of the Foster Care programs in some states as far as keeping track of where kids are.
no its not a job but let me tell ya something!! its a pain in the ****!! im 16 and i was in foster care. thank god i went to my bffe's house so that worked out but you better own your own company or something if you wanna foster kids because if not you will more than likely get fired from missing so much. you go to court just about every week and omg its a pain!!
no, becasue you don't get paid to foster. you get compensated a very small amount... but it still costs you money. they probably want the kids to go to a family that one or both parents are not always at work.
no it is not!!!!!!
hell yeah its a job...my mother was one for almost 25 years

Why do people think Kevin is any better at parenting than Britney?

Those kids should be turned over to the grandparents. At least Britney's sister came out normal.Why do people think Kevin is any better at parenting than Britney?
Kevin saw how britney was behaving and knew if he wanted his kids to be taken care of right he was going to have to be the one to do it. therefor he stepped up and started bahaving right.Why do people think Kevin is any better at parenting than Britney?
Kevin was already a father before Britney came along.


Shar Jackson had his kid way before he met Brit.


Look, he may be a lousy bad rapper. But He dont go around acting a fool when his kids are there. He is more responsible and look out out!!! Look out K-Fed....I smell some good ';Child Support'; coming your way from Britney..





Here's my rap on the situation.....=)





Britney Spitney...


Sitting in a tree....


P-A-R-T-Y-I-N-G....


Didnt give a crap about the kiddies





LOL Britney, I told you so


Now your kids gots to go!


Times up, you gotta go


Pull up them panties for sho!
well obviously he followed the judges orders. So he cares enough about the kids to do so. Her, not so much. And as for her parents raising them...not a good idea look at how Britney turned out...they raise them one will be okay and the other not so much. As for Britney's sister she's okay for now that we know of. Give her time.
Britney's Mom prefers him, and so does her body guard and the judge!
Kevin is a hit


That's why they are divorced!!!!!!!!
Kevin isn't out partying and doing drugs.





Kevin isn't out driving with the kids and a suspended drivers license.





Kevin wasn't raised by Britney's mother, who is the blame for a lot of her childish antics.





And lastly... Kevin... is not Briney.





*update*





And you put that kevin was a drug user. He might have been in the past, but one of the sayings of the court was that BOTH parents had to get drug tested... and britney didn't show!
Shar Jackson, K-fed's X, says hes a great Dad to her kids...


So at least the guy knows how to be a father %26amp; how to care for children..





He is a mature enough adult to see that Britney has become dangerous to the kids so he stepped up %26amp; is behaving himself. No one said the guys a saint .. but at least he knows when to keep himself straight...
Hes not as publicized and they arent out to ruin his life. i think if they backed off her she might get it straight but we know when that will happen. paparazzi's are too involved with other people life's to worry about theyre own!
I have to agree with Kasey %26amp; Armywife. Well, he does party somewhat but that was when Britney had the kids full time. Kevin is not seen partying that much anymore. The judge and the court thought he was a better parent at the moment and they know more than we do.





Britney seemed like the better parent then but something went horribly wrong after the split and divorce that made Kevin a better parent than Britney.
He is clearly better at parenting. In fact, he was about to be a parent when he and Britney started dating.

How does interracial marriage affect gender roles and parenting responsibilities?

especially hindu and catholicismHow does interracial marriage affect gender roles and parenting responsibilities?
Interracial marriage does not affect gender roles. I am white and my wife is black. We act just like any other married couples act. My daughter is doing really good. She is even going to be moved up a grade because of her intellect. Gender roles have no affect on our interracial marriage.How does interracial marriage affect gender roles and parenting responsibilities?
I am Black and my husband is white and I take more the dominant role in our marriage.He is very non-confrontational.He can know something is wrong bill,service,food order and will say nothing.Whereas me it gotta be what it's suppose to be or we may have an issue.I never overstep my role as wife I respect his manhood greatly but if intervention is needed I will speak up on his behalf.As far as parenting I am the decision maker only due to the fact I am home with our daughter daily and he works and is away 11-13 hours a day.So he allows me to do my thing how I see fit and he just backs my decisions with activities,discipline,bed-time whatever.I don't believe it's a race issue per-say I think it's more personality based and time based who predominately makes more decisions
Race %26amp; Gender are two different things. Race %26amp; parenting have nothing to do with each other. As far as I'm concerned race doesn't affect anything.
It doesnt! You still have a mother and a father~those are called parents. Since when does race have anything to do with being a parent?
You have an essay due, don't you?
Good question...when you find out let me know.
it shouldnt at all.

Is parenting really that bad? or is that just negative mothers?

...i want to be the best mother i can be.. i know i was a hard child after the age of 12 when i thought my $%#@ didnt stink.


but is parenting really as bad as some mothers say?


or are their children the way they are cuz of the way they were raised?Is parenting really that bad? or is that just negative mothers?
PArenting is the hardest job in the world. You don't get paid for it, no appreciation, and a lack of respect from the teen years till about mid 20's.....





Is it worth it? Yes. would i do it again? Of course. WAtching my children grow has bee nthe most enriching experience of my life.





Your children are a reflection of you. How you raise them is how you want them raised.Is parenting really that bad? or is that just negative mothers?
You have no choice in how they are raised now...The government will let you know how your going to do it.. Yo can do nothing to the child but talk..Talk don't work...But if your kid gets out there and destroys something --YOU WILL PAY because its still your kid although the government says how you going to raise it...Yes parenting in this day SUCKS...Think about it before you do it..
Parenting is hard. It's extremely rewarding at the end of the day though and that's what makes it work it! If mothers complain about their children it's their own fault. From the day a child is born it's up to you to teach him/her right from wrong and how to behave. A lot of people skip that part then wonder what the heck went wrong. Personally, I feel the first five years are what makes a child. It's really hard to 'teach a old dog new tricks.' That's probably why they complain that so much.





What I'm trying to say is that it takes dedication but it's not something to complain about. The mothers you are talking about are the ones who probably should have thought a lot harder before deciding to have children.
There's an old saying, 'If the child misbehaves,銆€spank the parents.鈥?Children who are truly wanted and loved and given the proper education and guidance grow up to be good, loving, contributing members of society instead of a burden. Unfortunately, in many cases the kid is an afterthought, or rather a product of a brief roll in the hay. Consequently the child is resented by the parties concerned if not overtly, at the subconscious level,and the child sensing the negativity from the parents begins to act up. Of course to make matters worse, immature people continue to produce babies often by different men who then become not only physical but financial burdens.
OK..we all want the best for our children and to be the best mothers (well most of us anyways)





I think you are confusing the negative feelings mothers sometimes have about parenting as being bad..its not the same...I can tell you this...you only understand after you are a parent..just how exhausting, constant, sacrificial, non-stop and all on about 6 -7 hours of sleep and 1 hour of me time..I tough mothers were being 'babies'; or ';exaggerating'; ..typically they are NOT! Its about 5x harder than your imagining right now!





that being said I would do it all over again to have my lil man!
Parenting is a 24 hour a day job, it is tiring, challenging, demanding and very hard work at times. But is is also fun, exciting, happy and rewarding when its good. It depends on how much support you have from others, how well your child sleeps,eats,settles etc. There is no garantees with kids and you never know how each day will turn out. My eldest is three and he is a handfull at times, but he is also very funny, caring,smart and polite. I can only hope it gets easier as they get older!
Being a mother is the toughest and most rewarding job I have ever had. It definately is challenging, and requires a lot of energy. My mom was a single parent of 3 kids after she was forced to leave my dad because of violence. I never heard her complain once, and I think that is the best example I have ever seen. I think that mom's that complain make their children feel guilty or bad about themselves. Phases are normal stages of development, even the one you mentioned. Its our jobs as mothers to set an ideal example for how we would want our children to parent and act. So, I disagree with the negativity and complaining that some moms feel they need to do; and given the same token can relate to the challenges.
