My supervisor sent me to pick up one of our kids from soccer practice bc their regular worker was called out on an emergency and I got there early so I sat in the bleachers where all the parents were waiting and some of the parents asked me which child on the field was mine and bc Iโm not allowed to wear my badge or identify myself to random people if it risks outing a child as a foster child I just said โoh I donโt have a kid hereโ without ONCE considering how fucking terrifying that mustโve sounded to those poor people (a grown woman with no kids watching a random middle school girlsโ soccer practice) bc not even 5 mins later the coach ambles over and I get pulled aside to have a private chat about who I was and why I was there
