One family's journey through foster care. The stories are true, but all the names are changed.
About Me
- Yondalla
- Daughter, sister, wife, mother, foster-parent blog writer, philosophy professor ... I am and have been many things. These days my identities as a teacher of bioethics and the daughter of a woman with Parkinson's and dementia lead me to agree with Peter Singer, "It's different when it's your mother."

Wow, that was no help at all was it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck straightening it out. You have a right (or so I'd think) to set your own rules for your home and expect them to be followed. They're not unreasonable.
Teenagers.
ReplyDeleteThey only hear what they want to hear. What's it called? "Selective deafness," I think.
Enjoy your fires... I know I love the smell of roasting ass in the morning.
Thanks Devo. I don't write good when I'm trembling with rage.
ReplyDeleteNot quite the "come to Jesus" speech you were expecting, eh?
ReplyDeleteTalk about an excellent example of how "we only hear what we want to hear". Lord, Evan really did filter the talk through his little hormonal teenage lens, didn't he? Go get 'em, kick some butt - I'm taking notes for the future.
