[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the 11:15 poster and am a host mom of 5+ years with two extensions under my belt.  I dont think this is about money, its about making the girl feel welcome and supported to get the relationship off on a nice foot.  There i a meaness your post that in my option reflects is why you are probably a tough host parent to work for - you think its you vs her and are worried about what you HAVE to pay etc.  Your use of the word "employer" and drawing a parallel to your first job is exactly the difference between us.

Not mean.  Real.  Are you saying you'd have these young people in your house if they weren't providing child care?  And I assume you're paying them?  We can play semantic games but if you're paying her to do a job you are the employer.  You (and I) are ALSO host parents...but employers too.  Like all of these posts (the "we pay for the plane ticket home" host family, the "we pay $350/week" host family, the "I let them buy whatever they want" family) -- more power to you.  You are very generous (especially giving them up to $100 before they've worked a day.)
