how so?

use the reasoning of why they're there in the first place. tell the guest that they should go out on their own more often. Suggest some places they might want to check out. Let your guest know they shouldn't use your family as a crutch, considering they're here on an english program, and they can only learn so much hanging around someone's house.

ok, let's say this has already been done and the person still doesn't get "it".

OK, next time youeat, or go out to eat, and this person tries to join you, you either leave their ass at home or you take away their plate and kick the chair out from under them. Stop pussyfooting around and make your point known. There are non-verbal ways of getting your point across loud and clear, if you're not a pussy about it.

I should add a pole or something. I can feel the pent up anger in some people now.

edit: gone for the weekend, I'll reveal more next week after seeing more opinions.

before I go, in this person's defense, they tried to cook when my mother said she couldn't cook due to illness. The guest cooked an entire meal.

ok, since it's all over. The guest was a girl from Japan. She was from a poor family (according to her). Her cousin and aunt thought we were close friends with her family and barraged us with calls the day when we told her that she was reponsible for her own meals. They (cousin/aunt), like the majority of ATOT, thought she should've been responsible for her own meals. So she had to be told literally that no meals were going to be provided. After 2 weeks of uncomfortable silence from both my mother and sister, she finally was picked up by her cousin to go to the airport tonight.

Moral of the story: YES ANGRY would be appropriate and don't host friend's friend's children (strangers).

The END

ps. for a poor person she sure had a nice camera/email phone with a nice s400 digicam but I guess that's standard issue in Japan.

I think food should be mostly included, be our house guest but get the hell out of here and get your own food doesn't seem quite right, at least not for every meal of the day. If money is a problem ask the friend of a friend for a little cash.

Yea I know but if you go over initial reponses, it's kind of interesting when the guest's gender/nationality was unknown.

did I mention she was not hot? or was she?

 

[CptObvious]

Just curious, how would she be able to feed herself? I'm assuming she didn't have a car, and if she's from Japan she probably has no clue where to go to find the food she can make herself.

There was a lot of fast foods/restraunts/markets all located within walking distance of my house and also near her classes. This was made apparent in the first two weeks when I showed her some of the eateries/markets near her classes/home. I even showed them how to exchange foreign currency at the bank and she also carried a CC.

 

Ah yes, culture clash.

if someone's at my house and it's time to eat, I'm gonna feed them.. whether I expected them to be there or not.. If someone's stayin' at my house, I expect to feed them.. trying to feed the rest of us and not the guest would be too awkward, we'd have to wait til the guest was away to eat ourselves.. it's rude to eat in front of people without offering them food too.. that just wouldn't do. I wouldn't have agreed to allow the person to stay with me for a month if i hadn't expected to feed her.. regardless of anything that might have been said beforehand, I would have expected to feed her. if the person had chosen not to eat with us that would be fine but I would hope if that was the case they would choose to be away from the house at meal times..

I'm sorry this was so stressful for your family, and that your guest had to cut her trip short..

Actually, I totally agree.

The problem I see here was hosting a total stranger. It's different if you host friends.

yes, see the moral of the story. It's a learning experience. I wonder how many people change their reponses after the update.
