[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been hosting for almost 2 years.  We didn't have a choice because  the other family has a very small house.  There are advantages to being the host family and its definitely  moer convenient.  But its also inconvenient when if you are sick or need to work from home.

I will confirm there are many, many cost implications that I didn't realize when we first made this decision.  Some are very small (like batteries) but over time these add up and some are significant and are hundreds of dollars (Heat, AC and water).

Our kitchenware and appliances are needing repair more.  We just paid $300 to repair our dishwasher that gets used almost every day.  Our Supplies get used- paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, hand soap, counter cleaner, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, toothpaste, etc.  General wear and tear on our furniture, walls, floors, etc.  They also use our car one a week.

For food, We have a Nanny that cooks all the means for the kids.  Each family buys groceries for 4 weeks at a time.  That works out great.

Now having lived through it, I believe there should be some added monthly costs for the non hosting family.[/quote]
