Parenting advice on foster kids, daycare food, and correcting other people’s kids.

My wife and I are doing a foster-to-adopt program for a child with an intellectual disability. I’m not coping well. I’ve been to individual, family, and marriage counseling about it and have made an honest effort to do everything I’ve been advised. But I still want to leave. I’m deeply miserable. Our marriage was great before this, and I deeply love my wife. The complicating factor to this is that I’m the sole breadwinner .

So my question is, in the absence of any sort of intervention from the other parents, how am I supposed to react in situations like these? I’m tempted to go with “No, don’t play with these kids, they are not playing nice,” but that feels mean-spirited. At the same time, I want my kid to know our behavior has social consequences and that bullies are not to be tolerated, so I am a bit lost.
