[QUOTE="witzend, post: 393695, member: 99"] My neighbor does this. There's one boy who must keep his own room because he is sexualized. It bothers me because she has several young grandchildren. Then there are times that her children become upset because the kids talk about things that are normal to them - abuse and witnessing abuse - to the other children and it forces conversations with their children that should be introduced by my friends to their kids, not someone else's kids with a skewed idea of "normalcy". Don't get me wrong - I was a foster child. They need people who can take care of them and invest in them. I lived in homes alone, I lived in homes with one or two others, I lived in homes with 10 others. I would not recommend it for families that have children of their own, especially difficult child's who need so much help, at home. Manster needs to be your highest priority, and a foster child could (even innocently) undermine that. [/QUOTE]
