By Molly Gallagher LG International Correspondent Living with a host family is not an easy task. It is never 100 percent comfortable, because their house will never feel like your own. However, there are ways to make your stay the best it can be. After living with a host mom for almost four months I want to share my advice with you all: 1. Give a Compliment to Make a Request Most host families want to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. This does not mean you can inundate your host parent(s) with complaints every day. If you have a complaint, request or question try to buffer it with a compliment. For Example: “Manuela I loved that chicken you made last night! I also have a question for you. I was wondering if you could do my laundry a day early, because I have a friend visiting?” 2. Clean Up After Yourself This is not your college dorm room, apartment or fraternity house.
