[quote=Anonymous]19:50 here.  My statements about supporting her cultural experience have nothing to do with how culturally aware you are as a couple and everything to do with how open and extroverted you are.  Just because you might share a language doesn't mean that you will be happy to have to explain to her how insurance works and help her enroll for classes while you are sleep deprived and trying to figure out breastfeeding.  Think about your most annoying stereotypically millenial intern/coworker.  Now picture that person living with you during the most emotionally and physically draining experience of your life.  How well would you and your spouse cope?

People who do poorly with the AP program are those who underestimate their own needs, overestimate their own patience or managerial/communication skills and who expect their AP to be a mature adult, when most APs are very young and often have some vestigal teen angst.  I am not trying to scare you away, and I do think that, given your follow-up, having and AP for a full year might work in your favor as you manage it all, but I wanted to encourage you to look at yourself and your spouse and evaluate how comfortable you would truly be with an AP.[/quote]
