Rights carry responsibilities. Caring for other people’s children is not always easy and being a foster child does not mean that you can do whatever you want. Like any other parents, foster parents are entitled to set rules and expect foster children to behave according to those rules.
Most foster parents are dedicated people who look after children because they want to help children who cannot live with their parents and family. It is important that you give support and respect to your caregivers and do your fair share of work round the house. If you are unhappy about any aspect of your care, talk first to your caregivers. Every family has occasional arguments and differences of opinion and things can usually be sorted out by discussion and negotiation. It is where things have got really bad or you cannot talk to your caregivers that your legal rights become important.
