Could obviously, ask them not to smoke in the house and ban them to the outside, but were not allowed to take their cigarettes off them. Remember is an addiction and would be a danger of them stealing if they were not accommodated in some way.

Love the typing error by the way ... very appropriate ...

I prefer to use the term wage not expenses.

You've said that before about something else but I can't remember what it was now.

I'll probably forget this one too by the time I see you.

I'll have to start making a list.

Just a little of track, but don't some people make fostering a job of work caring for these kids, and if so would this not be breaking the law of smoking at work, or am I just being pedantic

That is an interesting point. Yes they get paid for fostering, several hundred pounds a week if you have a teenager with problems. Is this classed as income? If so the earning of income could be classed as work.

You mention that you were fostered.

Would it have made a difference to you if your foster parents were smokers or non smokers?

So you thought you'd add to it by being negative.

Everyone's opinion is as valid as the next person's on here.

I really don't see a problem, and certainly not one in this thread.

As for my own thoughts on the matter, given that there are documented health risks from passive smoking, I can quite see the logic of children not being placed in homes where the foster parents, or carers, are smokers.

i wasnt really talking about the issue the thread is about - more that there was bickering on the first page which neednt have been there, yet seems to be working its way into more and more threads- but yes I had added to the negativity i suppose - more fool me

I'm not having a go, I just can't see any evidence of bickering in this thread, just differences of opinions, which is quite normal, not just on here, but in everyday life too.

It would be a boring old world if we all thought exactly the same way about everything.

To rid any negativity from the air, have some positive karma instead.

No.That was the least of the problems.
