[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"AP-Larla, we are going to Auntie Ems house in Kansas for two weeks over Christmas. If you want to come and work, you will have the downstairs rec room for your space. No one else will be using it during the trip. It has a pull-out couch and half bath; you'll share the main shower upstairs with everyone else. If you don't want to come and use your 2 weeks of vacation instead, that's fine. Just let us know by the end of next week."
There is nothing horrific about this scenario. [/quote]

"AP-Larla, we are going to PaPa Larlo's house in Bumfuck, Idaho for two weeks over Christmas. We are going to be sleeping in the guest room and the kids will have the basement room. You will need to sleep on the living room couch for two weeks. A pull-out couch? No, why should a living room have a pull-out couch? That's why the kids will be in the basement. A closet? No, it's a living room, sweetie. You can store your personal items in the basement where the kids sleep. Of course you'd have to get everything you need for the night before we put them to bed. Oh and you'd have to make sure that all your stuff is put away before breakfast of course. Also, we'll of course be sitting in the living room to chat until 11 pm or so, it's Christmas after all. And as you know little Larlo gets up at 5 am. That's also when we'd expect you to start working so that we can sleep in. It's Christmas after all! There is a bathroom upstairs that you will share with us and the kids. No early showers please. We'll be sleeping right next door. You'd wake us. We will only take one car which we will need to use with the kids, as you know PaPa Larlo doesn't drive anymore. If you decide not to come we will just count both weeks against your vacations weeks. So it's your choice if you want to go to Disneyland with your friends next April or not really. You didn't come to the US to make friends and travel with them. You flew thousands of miles to watch our kids wherever we want and whenever we want. That's why you are here. That's why we are paying thousands of dollars to your agency that flew you over. You better be greatful!"

Nothing horrific about this scenario?

The truth will probably somewhere in the middle. We'll never know.[/quote]
