[quote=Anonymous]This is interesting because I haven't thought the replies were snarky at all.  Nearly all of the six pages worth of responses agreed with OP that her situation sounded tough for her.  Nearly all offered very useful and constructive  guidance.  It was only when OP changed in three days from describing her host family as kind and eager to make her feel comfortable (read her first posting) to deciding to rematch without even telling the HF that there was an issue at all, that people starting to suggest - gently at first - that maybe OP was acting a little impulsively and maybe had unrealistic expectations for the program.  You can dismiss six pages of sincere, engaged feedback as "snarky immature moms" or you can read what nearly all say, and that is that the OP isn't handling this situation in a way that might help her grow and learn.  In the end, it's entirely OP's choice what to make out of this situation: she can learn from her own mistakes and from what it means to be in an incompatible situation and how best to handle it, or she can decide that anyone who disagrees with her is a "snarky immature mom" and not learn or grow.  Her choice.  [/quote]
