It's all about how you say it. I think most would likely say that family B was chosen because they fit in better (age, hours etc) so that you don't have to come right out and say that you liked them better than family A.

It's hurtful for sure when we don't get picked but it's also life. Most parents understand this I think. I know what you mean though. I hate telling families they didn't get picked so I changed the way I interview. (I wrote it out in a diff thread just recently)
