The Wrong Answer (nearly)

We are going through the hoops to become Family Link Foster carers at the moment. It is proving to be a very complicated process (rightly so). We had our first interview with a social worker last night, she talked us through the whole process and gently probed us about ourselves as well. All was going very well until she asked us about recent relevant experiences with young children, this was easy for me to answer as I regularly work with pre-schoolers. Barry then related how we have lots of contact with the little girls next door and how he regularly threatens to put L in the dustbin! Not quite the answer the social worker was looking for!!!!

However all was well as at the end of the interview she concluded that we came across as a warm loving couple who are obviously in a stable and loving relationship. Thats OK then.
