Jose and the kids.
In both my home-stay families the dads have been strikingly involved in the life of the household. They both have outside jobs and also work a lot around the house. Both of them did their fair share of kitchen chores too, and have gone out of their way to make sure I’m comfortable and well fed.
Maybe it says something about families that have the energy to take on, what I think must be a big mental and physical chore, having fresh strangers (some of whom communicate very badly!) arrive in your house every few weeks. To be fair, I have heard of people in home-stays that were not as lovely as my two and it does take effort from the guest to make it work for everyone. I’d definitely do it again though since I could stay a month for the price of a week in a not-so-great US-style hotel.
