So you [i]don't[/i] have a job.











Yeah, I don't either. I'm a student too. I should get one at McDonalds or something and like totally rock or something.

I do not have a career. I do have a job.

A career, at McDonalds? Dude, floop that. I'm an IT major. Computers ROCK! Almost as much as this song right now.

I've also worked with enough foster kids to hate them.

At what point do you start hating them?
1. As soon as their parents die
2. As soon as they are placed into state care
3. As soon as they are placed into foster care

I'm sure they hate being foster kids as well, so you are not alone there.

When they become the manipulative little pops that they are. I think we've had that discussion already. Offer something new or go home, Pharisee.

Just trying to understand your generalisation.
Wondering if you meant it literally. It's no big deal to me, you can hate whomever you want.

So I'm guessing that you hate "manipulative little pops" more so than foster children in general.
From this I am assuming that the ones you had involvement with were able to manipulate you quite easily.

It certainly is tough being a parent, my three year old tries to wrap me around her finger all the time.
But I am sure being a foster parent is much harder, given the lack of trust, lack of respect, and confusion around discipline and love there is when the guardian isn't the birth parents.

I doubt it is for everyone. It must be very trying and the foster parents must be cool, calm and collect. I'm sure it takes a special breed.
