[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being nice host mother doesn't equal providing stuff. [/quote]

Unfortunately, some AP use stuff as the measuring stick to equate with"nice".

There are AP who comes into the program expecting HF to cook and serve the meals, just like back home when their mom did all the cooking and calls them to the dinner table when the meal is ready.  I had one of those prima donnas and after going to her room to tell her dinner is on the table a couple of times, I stopped. We just started dinner without her and she eventually makes her grand entrance.  I most certainly will not do all the cooking and then have to also personally go and get her.  That was really grating.   I go get my kids for dinner because they are children.  I don't go search for my spouse to tell him dinner is ready.  He knows when it is almost dinner time and comes into the kitchen and start to help set up the table, dish out food etc.  That's being an adult.  It is this type of AP behavior that leads HF to think that some AP want to continue to be a child, instead of an adult in the household.
