[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We give one week of the AP's choosing and one week at our choosing.  I don't understand why you are upset with the other HF?  In the US people don't get much vacation time so if they are inflexible, it may be due to that.  Also, why does your AP have to travel with this friend at a time that doesn't work for her and you?  I think your frustration is misdirected because you don't want to be a "jerk." (Which you wouldn't be for doing what works best for your family).[/quote]

Life does not revolve around you and your precious family! OP understands this, hence her dilemma. You and the other host family do not, hence why selfish people create these dilemmas for those of us choose to consider the needs of all people not just our own. The AP is here to experience this country not just to work for you, so yes some flexibility in allowing her to travel with her friend is what a nice thoughtful person would do. OP I don't think your family should be the one always bending, however. Do you know the other HF? [/quote]
