Sometimes it is tough for extended family to understand the process. Our extended family has treated the kids well but there is a fear of making connections and then seeing the children leave.
As you chose (and we chose) to foster, this possibility was made clear to us. There is no training for other family members to help them understand that.
That may be some of the reason. You need to be very clear about how all the children should be treated. They will need you to stand up for them.
