I Need To Scream

OMG where do i start, hmm lets see for the past 8 months we have had an exchange student living with us. Great right?? Well its supposed to be. Everything you ever hear from commercials, friends, the student reps, are how absolutely great having an exchange student from a foreign country can be. You get visions in your mind of this cute little girl or boy who comes and stays with your family and blends right in. You see them having family gatherings with you,going to concerts, and even actually liking spending time with you. What you dont see is all the inbetween and the dirty little secrets that know one wants you to know about. What dirty secrets you ask? How about the neediness its like having a brand new baby at home that relies on you for their every constant need, and i dont mean where is the glasses kept, or what time is it?? I mean the constant i need to go here and i need to go there, or i know we just passed the store but all of a sudden i need to go back and spend an hour doing nothing but walking around embarrassing myself. Or one of my personal favorites them thinking that you do nothing but sit around and stare at the ceilings all day. School gets out at 3:00 so you would obviously think that if they needed a ride after school they would let you know a few hours in advance so that you can plan accordingly. NOPE been here 8 months and i can count the number of times i have actually been fore warned about this on one hand. No wait one finger (if that). We get told "can you pick me up in 5 mins" about 5 minutes before school actually ends. Can you see frustrating i dont know how many times i have been on the opposite side of town in the store and had to drop what i was doing to go pick her up, and then she acts like its no big deal because we were put on this planet for the soul purpose of being at her every beck and call. I hate ok so hate is a strong word i very very very dislike people that are rude, and have no respect for anyone, and let me just say she's both. Im at the point now where i can be sooo relaxed throughout the entire day and 2:50pm hits and the anxiety hits. ohh ohh and did i mention that another one of her foreign friends has moved in with us??? Yup 2 their is 2 of them, and now our first exchange student is acting like well no different than before but that the entire world revolves around her. Her and the little foreign girl #2 talks to my hubby when they want to do something like idk go to a party stay out till 3am. They only talk to me when they want a ride somewhere. So that brings me to another great point. get ready for lots of fights with hubby/wifey especially if you have differing opinions on child raising or they want to play you against each other. My husband lets this go on because he sees nothing wrong with anything they do. I honestly think they could go out and kill someone and have proof and he would say oooo welll they didnt mean to or my favorite their guilty until proven innocent. UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH im so pissed.
