It seems to me that OP is looking forward---and you are just being petty

I say this to myself and all of you---do not hesitate to rematch if her personality is awful, but is fine with the kids. It's not worth a year of being irritated.


Hi OP if you’re still around or others who’ve BTDT. I want to rematch but worried the next one will be even worse (our previous rematched last year to live in another city and the pool of APs in rematch was... not good, even with CC which statistically has a larger pool. So much drama and so many clear duds not to mention serious safety issues. How do you get over this mental block?


You get over it by remembering that your current situation sucks and there ARE good APs out there. Two of my APs best friends rematched and both are absolutely lovely (one didn't want to live in the boonies, the other just didn't fit with her HF).

It appears that OP is celebrating and sharing lessons learned. You sound like you are a PITA

Some APs hold their host families (who don't know any better) hostage with the threat of rematch and not finding childcare. Some LCCs/agencies do the same to pressure HFs.

OP now knows better. Let this be a lesson to others in the same boat...

good grief, give the OP a break. The OP is simply stating they have learned from this and advising that if you are unhappy with your AP you shouldn't hesitate to rematch like they did.

Thank for for the advice OP, I'm sure a lot of families do the same as you and wish they had rematched instead of sticking it out.

I would have made her clean up the car before she leaves.


And that's exactly the conclusion that I came to in my post.
