[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is living in your home.  She should not be told she cannot be there all the time as that is now her home too.  Not everyone is outgoing or social. To tell he rot get out of the house every day is obnoxious.  Maybe she cannot afford to go out as she's sending her money back home or another reason. Don't host in your home if you don't actually want someone there.[/quote]

[b]You've clearly never had one of these bump on a log APs, or you are a bump on a log yourself. They are the worst. [/b]I will never again match with an introvert I'd rather one come home falling down drunk than a hermit.[/quote]

This. It is ENTIRELY personality. AP is not only a worker or uncomfortable interacting with family members. She is invited to events as well as grocery store runs. She comes to the bare minimum for family related events (mostly school performances) and cluster meetings. She has dinner with us during the week most of the time when it's right after the end of her scheduled work hours. It also has nothing to do with money because there's plenty of free stuff to do in the area and gift certificates we've provided.

She literally was perfectly content NOT interacting with other people most of her free time. She seemed "normal" and functions perfectly fine in social situations.

It was a huge waste of the AP program except we're pretty sure she came for the visa.[/quote]
