social worker

For more than a decade, I’ve worked as a social worker, assessing people who want to become foster parents, adoptive parents, or permanent guardians of children already in their lives.

Essentially, part of my job is deciding whether someone should be trusted to raise a child.

About three years ago, my father in law received a $300,000 settlement. Despite our warnings, he invested the entire amount in risky stocks and lost almost everything.

Now they’re constantly complaining that they can’t afford basic necessities. But they refuse to work, claiming they’re too old and that certain jobs are beneath them.
