Well tonight's class was suppose to be about loss. Like the loss a child will have when coming into a foster home, loss of birth family, school, friends, etc. Instead it turned into a pissing contest of 
who had the worst childhood and the most loss. UGH!! The people in my class are driving me nuts. We basically learned nothing and our 3 hours of classroom time was a waste because of this debate. The good side to all this was I got my homework done for this week's class, so one less thing to worry about. My Grandparent's watched K tonight since my regular babysitter (my brother, N) went for a weekend in Chicago. So when I got home, I got a full report on the whole night. Including how they gave her a brownie and some peaches, along with her evening snack. Guess that's what Great-Grandparent's are suppose to do, spoil their great-granddaughter.

UH What a waste of training time. Figures.. But on a positive note it gave K some special time with her great grandparents..
It was pretty funny because my Mom was like you should speak up...I bet you would win....that's really sort of sad isn't it :)
Goodness. You'd figure they'd be more intent for the sake of the kids they'll be taking in. It's a shame when people turn things around and try to be the center of atention. It's good you realize what a waste it was. I wish you mush luck with all your training. I'm an ex foster child many times over, back in and out till 18. I think it's just absolutely wonderful doing adoption and fister care. There are just so many kids out there who just want families. God/dess bless you!
