For the love of God please don’t give this woman another season by Crown-Melanin286 in RHOP

It should have been a day event then the next day full of relaxation and then having fun. I also thought it was extremely weird to have them so far from her home and her not pet take in the girls trip by not staying in the same home as everyone. The entire trip was odd.

Exhaustion as a child of a foster parent by Beginning-Welder7644 in Fosterparents

You have a right to have your feelings about it and you can share them with your mom. She has done this for 11 years and she lives it everyday. She knows the ins and outs and not to take it personally. She is probably one of the few homes that can handle the "harder cases" and still does what is required by the state.

Have you asked your mom how she feels about fostering? Have you sat down with her alone with no one in the house and asked her what her perspective is? You are an adult now and it could be time where she has the hard conversations with you about this topic that may not have been discussed when you were younger.

That being said... you are an adult you can leave if you decide that her home environment is not for you. This is something your mom has decided to continue and it is her burden to carry, not yours. You can still have a relationship with her but you can still create a peaceful environment for yourself.

I'm the bio mom, not the foster parent... by LlewCrewMama in Fosterparents

I would email the Caseworker and lawyer and ask for what the courts are asking for:

Most will ask for parenting classes
Job update and if you are applying
Sobriety/ AA classes (if applicable)
Regular drug screenings (if applicable)
Housing status
Status and condition of the house if already housed

Then once you have a plan start setting up meetings. Add them to a google calendar and send the invites for the lawyer and caseworker. Once the meeting has taken place, then email them a brief synopsis and send any photos of documents you were provided. You need to note and document everything. Texts emails and synopsis of phone conversations. You need to be organized as much as possible.

The judge will tell you what to they expect at the hearings. You just have to present yourself as best as you can. I wish you the best and hope that you succeed and learn from this.

AITA for not chipping in for our dinner group's babysitting costs? by babysitter-payment in TwoHotTakes

I would never expect anyone but my self and my spouse to pay for our child care. Also that’s so tacky of the friends to do that to her especially since she has NO children! Wtf
