Getting along with the biological parents
Sending schoolwork to the biological parent can help him or her feel a part of what their child is doing.
Being a foster parent often means playing nice with the people who have harmed or neglected the children in your care. Biological parents, their issue and their demands can often be the hardest part of being a foster parent. However, forging a constructive relationship, especially when the goal is reunification, can be beneficial for everyone.

I really find a sour taste in my mouth when people - particularly paid care providers, believe they are superior.

I wonder if the Lady concerned would do the job, if she had to work on the same money as a Kin carer?

OH My goodness, It is not "a no brainer." Have you tried to be rational with 30 day sober 18 YO? or get them involved with their kids school work?
