[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was very close with one of our APs. There is a very mean spirited closed FB group that she showed me that "airs the family's dirty laundry" so to say. There are pictures of some of the host families atrociously messy homes.

[b]I'm not gonna lie, the way some people live is incredibly nasty. Not sure how these people would characterize their homes, if they would just say "cluttered", but what was posted would be very stressful to have to live in. [/b][/quote]

Cluttered is usually a disaster and yes, dirty.

However! It’s your APs responsibility to clean up if she doesn’t want to encourage the kids to clean up. [/quote]

I completely disagree. I am the previous poster who mentioned a ‘typical American home, messy from the work/school week hustle. My house during the week has its [b]typical clutter - school papers that need to be signed, a musical instrument, whatever, but I would never say that it was dirty or nasty. [/b]If it’s at that level, that’s is not your AP’s responsibility. Come on people, we are all adults here. We should know the difference between what’s acceptable clutter from raising kids vs. what’s excessive clutter and nasty. As the parents, you guys still need to carve time in your own household to make sure that you are keeping it at a decent level.[/quote]

We have different definitions of cluttered. I would not consider that to be cluttered. When I imagine clutter I imagine https://goo.gl/images/XaHrJE

Thats a nasty slob and would definitely get you posted to a social media for public shaming.[/quote]
