[quote=Anonymous]15:37 once more: pp and op I feel for you. I still believe this is solvable. One thing that can be said in favour of Germans is that they are not easily offended and very direct. Your approach is perfect. Tell them straight-forward in simple wording on the spot, when this behaviour occurs. Even if it would never enter your mind to speak to a guest like this. Don’t feel bad or uncomfortable- you are helping someone grow up and navigate through American society. My American au pairs have always been really grateful for my cultural orientation to Germany. I usually warn them about Germans being rather opinionated and strangers telling them how to take care of the hostchild or how to cross a street ;) Cultural exchange sometimes does go far beyond the imaginable, I guess.[/quote]
