[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here about German AP There was a huge paragraph I must have cut out by accident. The German AP told us about what life was like and she was rightfully miserable. I'm too lazy to retype it all now.[/quote] It would be wonderful if you could be too lazy to come on this site anymore. Seriously. We used to have useful discussions about hosting au pairs - where we were able to disagree about how to do it, without arguing over the merits of the program in general - until you came along and turned every query into a screed about how horrible it is to host. You seem to have no grey: in your view, hosting=exploitation. You seem to miss the point that many of us host very, very well (to the point that we remain lifelong friends with our au pairs who, yes, benefit from the program and from the cultural exchange, just as we host families do), and that the point of this board is to learn to host BETTER by seeking advice from other host parents. Every time you derail a discussion with one of your screeds, you prevent host parents from learning from each other. So please, do everyone a favor and indulge your lazy side. Because we already get it - you don't like the AP program. You made your point. Now please go away. Thank you.[/quote]
