This will be funny, but I have to say that my best family was / is right now my nightmare family that caused the snowball effect that I posted the other day.

My best family in care, they parents were sweeties, kind, caring, and compassionate, and rapport was good. When my husband was on a 4 month course away from home, every other day she send in enough food to cover afternoon snack for at least 2 days. Before and after that she was always sending in baked goods for special occassions or just because. Her presents were aways thoughtful and she seemed to know what was needed. Business wise, they have always paid on time, never a problem with policies, etc. They were the type of family that when they had their second one their first was with me, I never charged them, and they were thoughtful enough to send me flowers as a thank you. Little things that just added up over time that really made me think so highly of them.

Of course, they didn't stay like that for their second one. They went from a great family to being close to the worst family, if not the worst family I have ever had in care.
