[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Time to find a new AP.  This one seems to be all about how much she can push the boundaries.[/quote]

OP here. I really think she's just YOUNG and is not thinking too far beyond herself (as is pretty normal for her age, though I'd like to see a bit more maturity). She's not pitching a fit about anything - I'm just getting really tired of getting set up to disappoint her. She's very nice, but I think it's just sheltered youth coming through.[/quote]

Do you have a decent LCC? They need to sit down with her and explain every request imposes on her host family. She chose her two weeks vacation and that is it. Host families are not required to give extra days, federal holidays, etc.

I'd sit down with her afterwards and reinforce that the answer to any request starting with "can a friend come visit me" and ending with "and stay in this house" is a blanket no. Unless you want to allow weekends only (defined specifically as Friday and Saturday night, must ask at least three weeks in advance, and host family must be in residence) or if you're planning a trip without AP as a consolation prize to have a friend stay with her in your home.
