[quote=Anonymous]I am laughing at the fact that you seem to have more insight into my life than me. I assume you have been absolutely EVERYWHERE in Hawaii? Not.

I will reiterate that it wasn’t a question of buses coming by every 4 hours, they simply did NOT exist in the area, and there was also ZERO traffic where I was (so obviously we don’t holiday in the same parts or Hawaii) so it wasn’t a question of traffic being too heavy and walking being easier, the nearest beach was 30 minutes drive because I was staying INLAND and not near the beach. And no there was no TV indoors it might be coming as a shock to your system but not ALL Airbnbs come with a TV, believe it or not. 
As for my host family not giving me rides or letting me use the rental car, I wasn’t allowed to use it because I wasn’t on the contract and therefore not insured to drive it. As for them traveling all this way with a baby just to stay in the Airbnb, it’s what THEY like to do, and when else in a kids life can you afford to stay home with a child without them fully losing it other than when they are a baby? Not that it’s any of your business but both my host parents had health issues that meant their ideal holidays wasn’t your (or my) ideal holiday with lots of outdoors fun. That’s also why them giving me a ride wasn’t necessarily convenient. STOP assuming and creating completely fictive scenarios just to suit your narrative.  not that I have to justify myself but I was dumb enough to think that I wouldn’t need my laptop to entertain myself in Hawaii (hence why I didn’t bring it), I thought I would be able to explore and see things and walk places, obviously that wasn’t the case.

That’s my point though, the ideal holiday of someone may be someone’s nightmare holiday/work environment, it’s irrelevant if you or anybody would kill for a free trip to Hawaii or anywhere else, if ultimately the persons concerned (here OP‘s AP)  hates it .

And before any of you say I am a nightmare AP, I never begrudged my hf for this holiday and spending it like they intended, I appreciated them bringing me along and thanked them plenty of time for it. I was just mentioning that if my host family had wanted me to go there twice a month during my free time just so they could use me for 3 hours it would have been a different story and I would have hated it. I am not an entitled AP in fact, I was baby sitting for them no later than last Saturday (for free) and will be spending a full weekend (again for free) with the toddler so they can get away, my current hf (different one) has also asked me if I would be willing to change my visa status to student (they would sponsor me) so I could keep being a part of their kids life and one of my former host families (again I have been an AP a few times) will come visit me here in the summer. So I like to think that I am a pretty damn good AP very much loved by her host families despite me not always sharing their idea of the perfect holiday.
