I am working in a lovely school abroad and have been for the past three years. I have been oversees for around 7 years and visit home every three months or so as I miss my family and I have the means to do that.
A position became available for a 3 month post, which isnt really well paid but a great role which could enhance someone's experience and let them travel around. My friend visited a few months ago, and after disliking teaching in the UK, asked if I would consider offering her the three month role. I stated it wasnt very well paid, however, that she could use this time to travel and experience being a teacher abroad.
Since her beginning, she has compared the country to the UK, often stating how much she dislikes it. She has been constantly homesick, and often, after I have finished 10 hours of school, I am met with tears and sadness when I come home. She has been staying with me the whole time, I have helped her, but I am now at the end of my tether. She plans to stay with me for the whole three months of the post, as she actually did not bring any money (at all!) for the experience, therefore cannot afford a deposit for a flat. I did not realise this before she arrived. She is always trying to save her cash, therefore has not helped me pay for anything, even things like shampoo and tissues! In a couple of weeks, we had planned to go on holiday to the beach for 7 nights, but she wants to share a room and not pay for it. I really need some alone time as I have been with her for 30 days so far in a one bed flat! Yesterday, I told her that she should consider leaving this week if she is disliking it so much, but she can't afford a ticket home. AIBU to ask her to leave? Should I cancel my holiday and fly abroad alone?
