"I couldn't do it. I'd get too attached."
This is generally the response I get when I tell someone my DH and I are foster parents. I find it offensive...as if they're implying I don't get attached to our foster children. I know they don't mean it this way, but ugh! I need a witty comeback. I have been saying, "Getting attached means I'm doing my job well. The day I don't get attached is the day I quit foster parenting." I need something better. What do you say in response to these kind of comments?
