Parenting and Being a Mom to International Students for Mother's Day

Mother's Day, in North America where we are and in a large portion of the world, is May 12th. To mark this occasion, we give examples of how we mother our international students... or not. It really depends on the situation, the student's needs, and your own parenting views. Whether you actually have your own kids or not, you are still a homestay parent and this comes with some responsibility.

In this episode, we share our stories of Erin's way vs. Mary's way, of being a homestay Mom and the unexpected journeys it can take us on.
