Chores

So I was told when I lived with my host family, I should expect to do chores, just like I do in my home in America. But.... they never make me do anything. No, they never let me do anything. I'll be sitting in the living room reading or someting and they start bringing thigs out to put on the table and I say, " Kann ich hilfen?" but the answer is always no. But in German. Or when I come home and they're all in the process of cleaning the house and I ask "what can I do?" They just say "nichts." 

I know I would love it so much, not having to do any chores, if I were back home, but when I'm not doing anything to help here, its just kind of awkward. Like the other day, I walked into my room and my host dad was vacuuming my floor. If they're not going to tell me when my room needs to be cleaned it would be nice if they said when they were going to, cause maybe I have stuff like my underwear lying out. Luckily I didn't. 

Honestly I love my host family. They're great and super helpful and I do feel like a part of their family but at the same time I still feel like a guest. I just wish they would make me do something around the house.
