  • 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.

    Does there seem to be a great deal of hostility on Yahoo!Answers in the parenting section these days?

    If you want to see pure hostility, go to the Politics section. People there are either ask incredibly stupid questions or say things that are so inflammatory that I am sure that they are reporting each other for abuse.





    Parenting is one of those subjects that invites conflict. If you are doing what you feel is right for your child, there is bound to be someone who thinks you got it all wrong. I don't care if its whether or not to circumsize, breast or bottle or whatever, everyone has an opinion and they think that theirs is the best.





    Sometimes I think there is too much information out there and it is too easily accessible. When I had my oldest (she is 18), there was no internet as we know it, parents had to muddle through on their own or just read piles of books and hope to make the best decisions for their children and if we had issues, hopefully, there were other mothers we could talk to.





    There are times when I miss those days. Does there seem to be a great deal of hostility on Yahoo!Answers in the parenting section these days?
    Yes. But is it really that surprising? People's kids are the most important thing in the world to them, people tend to be very invested in the way they parent, not everyone parents the same way, and so an opinion forum like this one is bound to leave some people feeling defensive. Some people, when feeling defensive, lash out and get hostile.





    Not that I'm supporting hostility and rudeness. To the contrary, I tend to get on people's nerves because I sometimes come off as the civility police on here. But I do understand what triggers it.








    edit -- Marilyn -- I agree about the politics section. Such a bummer, because I'd love some spirited debate about politics, but that section is so full of attacks and invective that looking for some intelligent spirited debate is a needle in a haystack situation.Does there seem to be a great deal of hostility on Yahoo!Answers in the parenting section these days?
    People are very passionate about their children and tend to take it personally if people parent differently than they do. Everyone wants to be a good parent, so if they think they are being told they are not (even when that is not the case), they immediately become defensive.





    And to think I was going to ask about piercing my daughter's ears.





    People come on here because they want advice, but some people are very small I'm afraid and suffer from ';everybody sucks as a mom but me'; itis.





    Keep asking questions. I don't really care about hostility from anonymous strangers over the internet.





    P.S. You want hostility, visit the adoption section some time. They give you the thumbs down for telling how many kids you have.
    Yes indeed!! Just have to ask if you should bottle feed your baby or if you should pierce your infant daughter's ears... and you'll get a lot of hate if you dont get deleted!


    I dont know why.. usually people ask for advice of more experienced moms.. not hate... or judgement....


    oh well.........
    Yes

    What Can I Do? I Have Shared Parenting And Found Out He Has A Domestic Violence..

    Ok.. This is going to be a little long.. But here goes.. October 2006.. My daughters dad took me to court for custody.. I was doing very bad at the time.. BUT.. I was taking good care of my daughter.. I wasnt working and living with an ex boyfriend.. They belittled me in court.. They didnt care that her dad wasnt around for the first 3yrs of her life!.. So I lost custody.. And now we do a shared parenting plan.. Her dad has called my townhouse complex several times making stuff up to try to get me evicted so I dont see my daughter.. I feel like I have to watch what I do all the time because he's after me.. I looked his record up online and seen a domestic violence.. I guess him and his wife made up because it said that it was dismissed.. But i was NEVER made aware of this.. And my daughter was there that night.. Also on his record is a protection order.. It says nothing about that being dropped.. So exactly what can I do about this?? If there is a protection order that would mean he has to stay away from her and the home of which my daughter lives.. So Im wondering what I can do about this.. I live in Ohio.. If that matters.. Thanks so much!What Can I Do? I Have Shared Parenting And Found Out He Has A Domestic Violence..
    To change the custody agreement, generally you have to show a change of circumstances that affect the child. This domestic violence beef may have nothing to do with his wife and it may have no effect at all on your daughter's safety and well-being.





    When you say that you were doing very bad at the time, that implies that you have some baggage too. If you have a history of drug or alcohol dependence, for example, a judge might still find that shared parenting is the way to go.





    It's probably a lot better for your child if both you and the ex can stop looking for ways to cut the other out of her life. Shared parenting is the standard these days because a child needs two parents.





    Try to find a way to get along. But if you have real evidence that your child is in danger, get a lawyer.

    WHY DO WE GOOD PARENTS HAVE TO GET RETAUGHT PARENTING CLASSES?

    WE'VE TAKEN CLASSES BEFORE WHEN KIDS WERE BORN AND NOW CPS THINKS WE NEED THIS AGIAN AT 50$ TWO CLASSES AND THERPY SO DUMB OF RULES...WHY DO WE GOOD PARENTS HAVE TO GET RETAUGHT PARENTING CLASSES?
    for all the people that say she is doing something wrong. well a lot of the times cps gets called for no reason by a mad family member. then cps makes you jump through hoops to keep your kids. so dont say she is a bad mom. for you i am sorry that cps does these things. what state are you in. most states make cps pay if the parents have to do any thing that cost money. i had to take these classes and i agree with you they do not teach you any thing new so i dont even know why they make people take these classesWHY DO WE GOOD PARENTS HAVE TO GET RETAUGHT PARENTING CLASSES?
    I don't understand the question. ... ...... ...... sorry. um, i took parenting classes when i was in a shelter for abused women, and read a lot of books, but the best advice I ever got was from Barbara and Dennis Rainey... www.familylife.com. I raised four boys by myself.





    I'm not about to criticize you in any way, but... if you were doing your job as a parent why in the world would cps make you take parenting classes?





    And what does ';so dumb of rules'; mean? Sorry, I guess you should rephrase your question but before that, maybe think about your situation. cps doesn't make you take parenting classes for nothing.
    Obviously I don't know the specifics but if it is CPS forcing you to take these classes then they have a reason to believe that you are not the good parents you claim to be. I personally find it a comfort to know that when an offender has a child, they are having proper guidance istead of being dismissed as a past offender. It may be annoying and you may be a good parent now, but I must wonder how many kids have fallen through the cracks in the past.
    something must of happened to involve CPS. All I can tell you is to swallow your pride and don't argue about it. The main objective is to keep your children with you. Once you loose custody there will be hell for everyone, especially the kids. So please just be patient. Also keep this in mind...we as good parents continue to learn all through our lives.
    Parents involuntarily involved with CPS aren't the best parents generally. Sorry to break it to you.





    Just pay the money, take the classes. It's what's best for your kids in the long run. You say you're a good parent, good parents want the best for their kids.
    If CPS say's that you need to have this done then just do it. Get it over with and show them that you are good parents - once you do what they want they will leave you alone. If you don't do this they can probably have your kids taken away.
    Why are you in CPS in the first place? When it comes to children, the laws are very strict. For you to question it as if to complain of its inconvenience to you when there are obvious reasons as to why you are in CPS in the first place, it's stupid you ask maybe.
    Good parents don't have CPS involved in their lives. You must have done something wrong to have CPS monitoring you. Just pay the $50 and take the classes.
    Maybe you will learn some new techniques about how to deal with your kids about the issues effecting them in this day and age ( drugs, sex, peer pressure etc.)
    if CPS is getting involved there must be more to the story. I have not been told I need to take classes, this is my second child.
    You spelled again wrong!! You're a BAD parent!! Whats therpy? so dumb of rules? Did you skip grade school or are you just bad at typing?
    If your kids are under five they will most likely adopt them out if you do not comply.
    If CPS told me to take classes then I would take the classes. No matter the cost.
    I guess youre not as good of a parent as you proclaim to be...I teach these classes.
    Why is CPS involved? Backstory?
    Take some typing classes while you're at it. Specifically, ones that teach you how to turn Caps Lock off.
    What is CPS? And kids grow up, and there are new things to learn.
    If you were a good parent then cps wouldn't be an issue.
    Oh, great. Somebody beeching about being better parents.
    coz u think they are dumb. thats why you have to do it.
    Why are you with CPS? which in my state is Child Protective Services which means that someone felt you could not take care of your children properly. Help us understand this, please.
    You must be doing something wrong if CPS is involved with your life.
    i don't know why, but if that's what they want you better or say bye to the kids
    sounds dumb to me i guess
    Well what makes you think your a good parent?

    Who's for birth restrictions and parenting competency tests?

    Seriously, why are families with more than two children even allowed anymore? Why do we keep allowing the stupid to breed...just because you can make a child, doesn't mean you should. Making babies is, unfortunately, the easy part...Who's for birth restrictions and parenting competency tests?
    If the parents are decent people who discipline their kids and support their kids with no help from the gov't, they should have as many or few kids as they want. If the gov't has to start helping, time to stop having kids.Who's for birth restrictions and parenting competency tests?
    I am, because this world is too crowded as it is, and environmental dangers are imminent. I think it would lessen the severity if we did something to lower the birth rate, esp. in countries like the U.S. that drain resources and pollute like crazy. I doubt it would happen here, though. People get all high and mighty when it comes to their reproductive rights. The children that we love to put on this Earth will be facing all kinds of turmoil from the Earth as it rebels, likely in the near future. That is why I don't want children - I don't want future generations of my family suffering.
    man I have been thinking exactly that for a while - they do a pretty good job of it in china - i doubt it would work in the states -


    but I give myself comfort in the thought of natural selection - survival of the fittest - evolution -
    Oh sure, let's let the government control us even more. We are supposed to be the land of the free. Remember....freedom, our amendments.





    How about we educate people? This world is full of ignorance!
    I will agree with you on the parent competency tests... you really need to be able to handle the responsibility of a baby before you have one.





    But I happen to like large families... at least the ones where the parents know what they are doing, and are able to devote proper time and attention to each of their kids.
    The size isn't the problem, even couples who are smart can raise good families of any size. The problem is when stupid people procreate.





    Ie. I might be 14 with no boyfriend, job or education but I want a bay cause I think it'll look cute.
    Well my husband and I have been trying to concieve for going on 9 months July 19th so no it's not easy to make a baby. Secondly my husband and I aren't stupid and neither are my extended family. Third the government CAN NOT order or place a restriction on how many children a couple can have. If parents can afford to have more then 2 children then they should be allowed to have as many children as they can afford. My brother in law has 5 kids, another has 9 and another has 13. My husband's country is cheap and the education and hospitals and medicine is free because the Government of Saudi Arabia pays for everything. In our religion which is Islam it is recommended to have large families not only to spread Islam but because family is an important part of Islam and so the eldest child can take care of his mother and younger siblings if the father dies and because families are really close to each other in Islam with grandparents living with their grown children and grandchildren.
    I totally agree! We were just discussing that. I think you should have to pass a basic common sense test. Maybe that would cut down on parents murdering their children, or the need for foster care and SRS.

    The future for teen moms can be compromised due to the demands of parenting. What are two of those consequences?

    Thanks, (hw question)The future for teen moms can be compromised due to the demands of parenting.?
    Be careful. This is a stereotype and is based on the assumption that parenthood is what compromises their future. Many teens who become parents have already had their futures compromised - by poverty, inadequate educational services, emotional and physical abuse, peer pressure, a poor environment, and the media. Not only is there no incentive to prevent pregnancy, there may actually be a financial advantage compared to where they were before. These teens would have struggled whether they had babies or not.





    Teens from more privileged backgrounds also have babies - and their futures are really not much different from their peers'. Most of them go to college, support their children, and eventually marry. They may have done things in their lives in different order from their peers, but in 10 years, they all end up in about the same place.





    So be careful in assuming that parenthood is the problem. It's not. In many cases, the real problem is the circumstances that lead to early parenthood.The future for teen moms can be compromised due to the demands of parenting.?
    Ummm homework if for you not for us!!!! DO your own homework.

    What is the value of parenting programmes in enabling learning and growth?

    The value is priceless. Every parent should be educated on child development. It makes life so much easier and fun for you and your children. The more educated you are in child development, the more enriched your childs' life becomes.What is the value of parenting programmes in enabling learning and growth?
    not worth it they make you feel stupid and that everything your doing is wrong.What is the value of parenting programmes in enabling learning and growth?
    Hmm, this is in 'parenting', but sounds like a college assignment to me. Do your own homework!

    Since the main topic of discussion seems to be parenting, namely vice presidential parenting?

    Shall we also ask about Joey Biden's ability to parent, after all Hunter is currently being sued and is under investigation for fraud, just exactly where did he learn his ';family values';?





    Or does this sort of thing just apply to working women?

    Thank you for bringing light to the fact that people are trying to throw rocks at a women that has set the bar for responcible leadership.Since the main topic of discussion seems to be parenting, namely vice presidential parenting?
    Every individual has ';family values';, and it is always the ';other person'; who doesn't. The republicans made ';family values' a centerpiece of their attack on Clinton, but conveniently overlook the President Bush has done cocaine, Bush's daughter were caught underage drinking, Palin is smoking marijuana, Palin's husband is driving drunk, Palin's 16-17 year old daughter is having unprotected sex and is pregnant.


    Since when is cocaine use, underage drinking, marijuana use, teenage sex and pregnancy and drunk driving part of ';family values';?????? The simply answer is that they are NOT! The simply fact of the matter is, ';family values'; matters only when there is evidence the the ';OTHER'; guy doesn't have any. If there is any question the ';you'; are lacking in family values, then you do as the republicans have done, and insist that these are ';personal problems'; that should not be delved into and are inappropriate for us to investigate.


    Don't get me wrong; the democrats have their own skeletons in the closet. The problems with this wrong mess is that we use value laden terms as a litmus test for who we agree and/or disagree with, and we don't know what these terms really mean, nor would we wish people to judge ';us'; on the basis of what these terms mean. We say that someone has or doesn't have ';family values';, and we use that characterization to say they are good, bad, right, wrong, conservative and/or liberal...but no one ever defines what ';family values'; are, and we all just assume that we know and agree.... The truth is, and it's always the same, the only thing that can truly be said about ';family values'; is this : I , MYSELF, ALWAYS HAVE FAMILY VALUES, everyone else is questionable!






    / Biden's brother as well.





    Also, Obama's mama was a preggy at 17 in Nov. '60. She wed the father in Feb '61, and Barak was born in Aug '61
    I'd rather my GROWN son be sued than for my TEENAGE DAUGHTER to be PREGNANT.





    The Palin family obviously does not place too much emphasis on morals.
    Good point but the stinking lib media will not report on this accused felon. Nor do they care to comment much on Biden himself and his proven plagarism.
    I will say this again:


    It is a family issue and NONE of america's business.

    Working women who are conservative that is.
    Your right, it just applies to working women.
