[quote=Anonymous]Entirely subjective what it means to host an AP, treat them like family or an employee, or like a "niece/nephew from a different country". Family responsibilities can be very different from what the AP grew up with. Some APs grew up contributing around the house;others had housekeepers, cooks, "maids" according to PP; some had helicopter moms who literally did everything for them, even their homework, AP applications, etc. happens in this country, too. It's up to you, OP, to decide what your expectations are, and then be ok with a smaller percentage of it. I had one amazing AP (she was neat and organized, and could cook a meal one time a week, unlike most of my APs) who took out her trash a handful of times during her year, never shoveled, and never walked the dog.
