[quote=Anonymous]Obviously you probably have some cultural insight given your family heritage but I would throw out the two cautions I received in looking at an Indian AP (she was living in SA). One of my best friends was born and raised in India and cautioned me that it would be unlikely that a middle class girl would be ok with doing household chores, specifically cleaning the kids or her own bathroom. She (the friend) was raised with domestic help and was taught that these types of tasks were beneath her. The second caution was from an LCC who had experience with several Indian APs and found that they were very protected and coddled at home and were not equipped to be the responsible adult in the household. They became easily overwhelmed and quickly homesick. Just some things to consider...[/quote]
