Dressing gown all day?!

The reasons posted upthread are why I almost never invite people to stay with me. Nor do I stay with others if I can help it. I would never take strangers into my home.

I have to agree with biglouis, I really admire the people who have opened their homes to the refugees but I could never do it. I know someone who has taken in a mother and her 8 year old son and whilst it is working out ok there is a problem with the child. The mother thinks it is ok to send her son on his own to the park down the road while she goes out for long periods of time. In the end the host is looking after the boy or going with him to the park despite explaining to his mother that it is not what responsible parents do in this country. This is causing stress in the house and I wonder if, in the rush to be a good person, people hadn't fully thought the pitfalls through.

Sadly, culture and parenting differences are bound to arise

Expecting refugees to adjust automatically is unrealistic

Does she need to enter the living room while you are making video calls? With such an attire your viewers will be wondering what kind of establishment you are running! Obviously if she’s not seen she can indeed wear her dressing gown all day, like I do till I go out.

I've been relaxed about this situation as generally, this lady is determined to create a great new life for herself and she's coming across as sensible and proactive.
I'm encouraging her to go out for walks with some of my neighbours and friends and yesterday, got her out on a bike we found her, which she really enjoyed. Job vacancies are starting to come through and she has shown interest in finding something that will utilise her skills.
I've moved my laptop camera round and she knows not to come too near me if I've got my conference call headphones on now. It's all just teething issues.
I think I've actually been really lucky with how harmonious things are in the house and just because I get up at 6am, have a shower and change into smart day clothes doesn't mean everyone else has to have the same standard, especially when their apartment and entire city has been blown up. :-)

Just ask her to get dressed by a reasonable time and not walk behind your monitor.
I got caught out by this. on a visit to DD I was helping with supper I did not realise GD had been talking to friends on FaceTime on the Kitchen table.DD has tried to stop her.
I bent forward in a rather slippery v necked tunic to pick something up and some child 2000 miles away got a good flash of my ample bussom and heard some colourful experlatives. DGD had forgotten to switch the computer off and the friend was still there. It is now switched off.

It's all just teething issues.
I'm glad everything is settling down now, Peacelily.

I hope she settles in well and can find some work which she enjoys. She must have been traumatised and knows what is still happening to her beloved country.
