I understand that she is your mother but you need to report this because that is neglectful to the child and it's unfair to him or her! And it sounds like you're POS mother isn't it for just the money and that's bullshit! me and my family just adopted 3 kids that we love dearly and we would never put them to the side and certainly would never have done it for money

Wait, I'm sorry how has no one mentioned this yet - your mother fostered a child to make some money and the only reason you have a problem with this is because you have to take him to school and not for any other morally ambiguous reasons?!

It takes a lot of dedication and effort to make yourself do nothing. It’s funny that lazy people don’t realize that.

She needs to not be a foster parent. Kids aren't meal tickets.

Your mom’s a dirtbag

I’d report her

"Mother, I am not your baby sitting and taxi service. This is not up for discussion. If you cannot properly care for this child yourself, you should not be part of the foster care program. You will have to manage this yourself. If you continue to bring it up, I will walk away and not speak to you." Then stick to that. If you believe this child isn't being cared for, you should alert the foster service people. Or, tell her you've decided to breed Irish Wolfhounds, and she'll need to walk them because you are too busy.

Learn to say no, it'll stand you good stead throughout your life. Your mother is manipulating you, you need to put some distance between you. And by all means, report your mother because what she's doing is sick.

that money is not hers, that money is for the child. you do not "make" money by fostering children. your mother is a dirtbag and you not having a problem with this is bad. I feel sorry for that poor child. :(

move out. problem solved
