[quote=Anonymous]We're very upfront about no overnight dates - we said it while interviewing, it's in the family manual, and the person we matched with has similar values to ours, and her family back home wouldn't have allowed it either, so it's been a non-issue. My LCC advised before we matched that it's easier to give additional freedoms through out the year as you build trust and confidence than it is to take them away when something goes wrong. So, start out with some rules that are on the more strict, but not unreasonable, side and then loosen up once it's clear that your AP is not taking this an opportunity to go wild. I just removed the curfew restrictions, and eased up on needing notice about hosting friends - our AP is so introverted, that at this point, I would be relieved to see her socialize a bit. [/quote]
