I told the caseworker next time she needed a hair if she felt bio mother needed a say when I would arrange the haircut during her visit when she could handle the haircut. I never heard anything else about it.

I had another bio parent of a baby tell me a number a different things and brands (fun things how everything has the most expense brand) that this baby had to have. This was done right in front of the caseworker, which she did not respond. I stated, “That is strange she did not come with any of those things and even the diaper she was wearing was not pampers.” No response from bio’s. I then said, “I will gladly use all of the brands and items that you would like to provide.” The caseworker listened to the entire conversion and did not respond. The next visit the bio parents brought only a few of a very long list of items, which used. When I told them the items had run out, they decide not to replace them. The bio parents would try to control a lot of things and tell me what and how I needed to do things. The caseworker was always present when they requested all this crazy stuff but did not say anything. The caseworker did get involved when the bio parents wanted me to take the baby to their doctor. When I refused to do it, they wanted to know my doctor’s name. Caseworker wanted to know why I did not continue using the doctor that she had been seeing. I explained that I felt it would be a conflict of interest for the doctor (he was their family doctor), I had the right to protect my privacy and my family’s and I used my doctor for my children and my foster children. Caseworker accepted what I said and I continued using my doctor.
