Rodzina proponuje wyjazd na 2 miesiace.Niby nie duzo a ciagle dostaje od nich
jakies e-maile z wszelakimi pytaniami:). Dzieciaki maja po 12
lat(blizniaki,chłopiec i dziewczynka). Co sadzucie o tych pytaniach(niektóre z
nich),tez dostajecie takie?
There are not really any ‘right’ or wrong’ answers here, just interested to
know your thoughts. Where I have given possible answers, obviously you can
give your own too!
1. You will only be ‘in charge’ of the children and the house 20-25 hours per
week, what do you expect to be doing at the other times?
2. When we are NOT able to take you sightseeing at the weekend, what would you
expect to do instead?
3. Do you prefer to have activities planned – or to do things spontaneously?
4. With the housework help, do you prefer to
• only do what we have asked (in case you do something wrong?)
• think ‘I can do that, I will ask Shirley and Alan if they want me to do it’
• ‘do it and hope Shirley and Alan will appreciate me doing it’
5. Normally we do not allow the children to watch the television in the
morning. Would you allow it?
• No, because you have been told our opinion and should obey it
• Yes, because the children have told you that occasionally they ARE allowed
to watch a video or a special program
• Yes, because the weather is not good now, and it won’t do them any harm to
have a treat occasionally
6. If one of the children talks to you in a way that you think is ‘rude’
or impolite, how would you deal with it? (on the whole, they are polite, but
occasionally…………!!)
• Ignore it – they are ‘nearly’ teenagers
• Laugh – they were probably only trying to be funny
• Explain that it sounded impolite and ask for an apology
• Tell Shirley or Alan later so they can correct the children
• Think twice before being offended, YOU may have misunderstood
