Wait a minute, you live in an eight-bedroom house? Oh, you're right, I would have that many bedrooms too, if I had enough children to form a soccer (football) team. Not all of us are so lucky to have that many children to love, but most of us have friends or extended family who would like to join us on a home exchange. What do you do if your swap party is large?
Big families are great candidates for home exchange. Everyone can be together under one roof. I can't imagine having my two kids sleep in a separate hotel room, let alone bunking eight of them in several other rooms, possibly not even near my own accommodations.
The only glitch is if other exchange families don't share your enthusiasm for having so many people together in the exchange home. That's the problem Marie is running into:
"I just recently joined the HomeExchanger community and happened to stumble over your blog when surfing for swap information on the net.
It is refereshingly candid and much more interesting to read than the bloggers that are attached to exchange firms! I am looking forward to your next entry.
I seem to have a hard time to get answers, despite (in my view of course) an enticing ad with lots of pictures.
The problem that I have, is living in an invisible area (Sweden) and with 8 kids in tow, I do not blame people for being hesitant.
How can they know how well behaved my kids are?
Hope you have some hints to help on the way.
Marie"
This family is blessed with eight children. The exchanger suspects that's why she is not getting any responses to her home exchange offers. I suspect she might be right. Next time I'll share my ideas for finding all of them the swap of their dreams.
