[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in a nanny share

Couple one:
Dermatologist & Real Estate Agent
(Both on phones all day)

Couple two:
Christian school teacher & Marina manager
(Both on phones all day)

I'm young but have had a few jobs. Used my phone during all, was never 1. fired 2. yelled at. I've worked as.. a nanny, pharmacy tech, movie theater consession stand worker, office clerk at a wall paper/antique store business.

I said all of that to say...get over it[/quote]

That's fine.  My house, my rules no phine use except to communicate w/host family when away from the home.  otherwise, phone is in AP bedroom or in purse while out. I have tried in vain to help multiple APs manage their phone use, learn what it means to have good judgement, how much is too much, when its ok and not and I've been burned.

Dont like it? Don't match with me then.  I tell prospective APs this up front.  I am lenient in many ways: car use, no curfew, will host your friends, buy your favorite foods, bring you on all our great vacations (and give you extra  time off while there), let you use our beach house, provide you with a nice bug LCD TV in your room, etc.  But don't be a phone whore.

I think you're underestimating the need these girls have to feel connected while they're living in a new, challenging environment.[/quote]
