[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why everyone is being so tough on OP.

Our first and last AP just left a couple of weeks ago. We made it through a whole year with some bumps but in general ok. She is a nice girl but IMMATURE and has limited common sense. She would most likely act the same as OP's sister's AP.

OP, your sister really messed this up. First of all, she should ask you if the AP is invited. It is kinda rude just bring a total stranger to your house. Second, apparently she wanted some kids-free time with you and your family. She should schedule AP to work or tell the AP her expectations when taking her out as a family. AP either can accept and come along or if she doesn't want to chip in as a family, she can choose to do her own thing while you are away.

Her AP is very immature too. Yes she is off-duty but she is invited because she is being treated as a family. So act like a family! keep your eyes on the kids if the host parents are busy (not whole day, but 20-30 minutes when needed). if the host parents are enjoying some time with their siblings, join for a little while and when the conversation is not related to her anymore, politely leave and do something else! She can join the family for dinner and entertainment activities like games etc. but don't be there all the time! It is just like when your parents have friends over, you don't want to be there all the time.

In general, I don't like the AP program. It is so hard to make everyone's expectations on the same page due to the mixed positions/roles. I like my AP as a person but really not a fan of the program.
