[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 490878, member: 11791"] Crazy - I don't know how your system works, so this may just be something that works here, but... Here, the system is "grandparent-friendly". They know that it pays for the little ones to have extended family in their lives when their own nuclear family falls apart. While there's a few who can take over the kids, most can't, and the system recognizes this. So... if things fall apart and the kids have to go to foster? Here, they'd be hunting you down and asking for you to be "involved". This means - whatever vists you can spare time for, random "checking" with foster home (really helps on all fronts), showing up for the little school things (mothers' day tea is still special if granny comes)... You know your own limits, and that is wise. Hopefully, there will be ways for you to make a difference to these little ones, while someone else takes the load. [/QUOTE]
