School days

Things have been going well. Girls getting along better. Abbie and her pre teen issues popping out it's ugly head daily. Gotta love hormones.
Until last week. Teen had a break down at school and was suspended for the rest of the week. We had precautions in place but dumb me didn't think what to do if one of the precautions was out. Live and learn, right?
I was not happy with the situation. I didn't hear back from the principle. (I called 3 times) and I have the feeling as these school personnel were calling me, by the tone of their voices, that it was my bad parenting that was the cause of this. Yep, it's all my fault. Some are great. Others, even when they know I'm the foster mother, act like I'm doing this for the big bucks. And by the way, the front office knows my name now- Who's calling? Oh, teens mom.
Yep, that's me.
This being my first foster child, it's a weird badge to wear. People either think you're some kind of saint (which I'm not, just doing what God wants me to do) or I'm doing this for the money. Which, any normal person doing foster care knows it is not worth the little money we are given to help take care of kids. A senior in high school?? Seriously!! How much stuff do seniors need? And prom!! Now, DSS does pay for some senior supplies but nothing for prom. And I had no idea the insurance wouldn't pay for contacts. So, if I can pay for teen to have contacts and she wants them, am I going to say no? Whatever people.
My goal with teen is to show her God, love and know that she can have a great life.
Just needed to get it off my chest.
