I don't think you can pt. a negative finger at other fp's for the choices they make about having kids moved. I know when we were fostering it just became too much for me. I had four kids under the age of 5 with a hubby who worked 6 days a week and very long hours. I was becoming physically ill from being so stressed and so tired. They were not hard to place kids that had lots of problems, they were wonderful kids. It was just too much for me and everyone was suffering.
It is so easy for us standing on the outside to say what we do, but until you are in another family's home living their life you can't comment.
Do I think it is healthy or right for fc to be bounced around; of course not!! I agree with so many others that their needs to be more training and support for foster parents before they take a placement and during a placement.
