I have a lady from Ukraine staying with me since two weeks back and she is lovely. I am helping her with English and generally encouraging her to make friends, find local resources, and set herself up to be confident again. One thing is bugging me however and it's the amount of dressing gown wearing that's happening. I'm talking ALL day! I have to work from home so I'm back on the dining room table and I have video calls for part of the day. I've explained this to her, both in English and Ukranian, and she is aware of the video camera and other people's line of sight but that hasn't stopped her from wandering around in a thigh-high leopard print satin dressing gown!
It's happened two days in a row now; she's spent all day in her dressing gown and hasn't got dressed until 4pm. I know it's early days, and it must be difficult to live with someone working from home but I did pre-warn her this is how my life is.
So I'm asking you to help me sense-check this one. If the dressing gown thing continues, am I in my rights to have a firmer word with her and ask her to get dressed into proper clothes if she's coming downstairs during the day?
