And anyone know why buckybells left? She seemed pretty under the radar as far as I saw.
I didn't know bucky left.
freedom you may be right, it could just be me, dick and 05 soon.
I noticed it on a CEP thread - said buckybells - 0 posts and the pic of her dogs wasn't there. Honestly all I remember about her is 2 dogs, crappy husband she divorced, just remarried.
NQB said she read the following article, linked in her post, and it was this article that led to her ah-ha moment where it occurred to her that hosting a student could be a money making endeavor. Read the whole article and keep in mind that her take away was "oh, this is how I will finance my home improvement. How lucky for me!"
So she read the part about how much the consulting company was paid and thought "Oh, I bet most of that will come to me!"..? Surprise! A) Very little of that would actually go to "you" B) That's money to offset what increases you'd see by having an extra person live in your home
I'm in a group on FB where someone came in over the weekend and was talking about how in another group there's a mom fostering kids. She feeds them hot dogs and boxed mac & cheese on the regular with little other variation in order to pocket the money and pay off debt. THAT'S NOT WHAT IT'S FOR DIPSHIT.
Yes. But more than that, this whole article was about how kids social needs were overlooked in favor of the school just pocketing the money. She totally missed the point of the article and instead decided this would be a money maker for her, too.
So...she wanted to import a human for her personal financial gain.
My mind was there, but my brain could not quite articulate it so succinctly. Her attitude, "I'll just point him towards the bus ..." was bad enough, but in light of the tone of that article it was downright Trumpian.

Well, yes. What I meant was the read that part and gave up on the rest after finding a money making scheme.

Don't forget that she's Only 2.5 hours from NYC🙄 What a gift that is. Her and her h came up with this idea independent of each other. What a pair of aholes.

This part of the post was amusing.
I'm a bit closer than that to the city and my H commutes weekly but it's not like you just "pop down to NYC" on a whim.
Was she expecting a kid in a brand new country to really be able to take advantage of that by themselves?

My exact point! She thinks it's some kind of bonus. I bet she still doesn't get what a jerk she is.
What the actual fuck to wanting to MAKE money off an exchange student? Those are exactly the type of people who shouldn't be hosting a kid from another part of the world.
One of my best friends from Brazil had a terrible homestay experience when he went to study English in Canada. It was exactly the sort of situation NQB mentioned wanting to do. His first hosts lived way out in the furthest suburbs (in a city with an urban sprawl problem) and were neither friendly nor helpful to him, basically pointing him in the direction of the (crappy) public transport and leaving him to his own devices when he barely spoke English. Luckily he was able to change hosts eventually and had a great experience, but holy fuck was I embarrassed at the 'welcome' he received in my country.
On the one hand, it is best that some people GTFO. On the other, the evil person inside me wants some people to stick around and air their fuckery with no shame for my amusement. Like unapologetic kids' play tent sex and not washing your kids' hair for a month. It's similar to how I like keeping an eye on my messy neighbors for my entertainment.
