[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one that thinks somethig is up with the dd that she doesn't want her mom to know about, that an exchange student might become aware of?

For example, does dd have an eating disorder? Has she misled mom about something at school the the student would find out about (something social, maybe she's being bullied, etc)? OP said she works, maybe dd has a boyfriend that comes over in the aft

Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, but the OP's post screamed "hiding something" right away. [/quote]

I'm 18:51.  My gut instinct is that OP's daughter isn't that popular.  That's big enough when you are a teenage girl.  That's why she was probably more than happy to go abroad, but she is reluctant to host.

I disagree with other PPs that she is selfish or doesn't get reciprocity, especially given that it isn't as if the daughter has to spend money or give up stuff.  I think it's embarrassment.

I would have been horrified at hosting someone.  And I wasn't up to anything.  I wasn't selfish.  I was interested in other cultures.  But I would've been horrified at the prospect of putting my really deplorable social life on display for a teenager from another country.[/quote]
