[quote=Anonymous]Ugh - we went through the same thing in June.  Remember the AP who drank and drove and crashed the car and lied about it?  That was us.  We ended up housing her for three weeks beyond the date she stopped working.  Unlike what your LCC incorrectly told you, you DO NOT have to pay her if she is living in your house, only if she is working while living in your house.  Our AP stayed three weeks beyond her last day of work (in other words, she stopped working so  we stopped paying stipend, just "paid" her room and board), and it was awful.  Everyone was confused and stressed.  Her extension family refused to take her early and we were put in the terrible situation of either keeping her still longer or putting her out - same situation you're feeling pushed into.

But this is the time to move this beyond you and AP and get the LCC and regional director involved.  You have been lovely and patient but enough is enough, and that is what we did.  If an AP doesn't have a new family in two weeks, she is supposed to leave her current HF and go home (or stay with a friend a few days if the friend will host her).  The LCC or regional director needs to tell her this and not you.  You can continue to smile and be sympathetic but really, even if it weren't upsetting your children, which it is, enough is enough, and they need to tell her to go.  If LCC wants her to have more time, LCC is totally allowed to host her herself.  Time for AP to go and either find a family or go home.  You've had enough stress caused by/through her actions.

Good luck.[/quote]
