[ - ] S/O au pairs. Can we talk au pairs for a bit? What's the big advantage of au pairs over nannies? Do they become more "family" than nannies do? Do you ever feel like one of your own kids? What special considerations/gifts/treatment do you give your au pair? 6 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More ]

they are significantly cheaper, you dont get to really try them out - just a video skype chat - then you fly them here. if it doesnt work out it sucks. there are a lot of rules - 40 hours aweek only, no family laundry, just the DC, no weekends i think, etc. dont know if they are like part of the family but they live with you, however, they are not "on call" - depends on the relationship just like a nanny [ Reply | More ]

[ - ] Is it silly to be mad about this? Dh's family came over last weekend for dinner. MIL brought burgers and fruit salad. I made some side dishes (corn, pasta salad, apple crisp, brownies, green salad with two homemade dressings, loaf of homemade bread). When they left, MIL thanked us for having them, and DH said "oh, no problem, you guys brought all the food!" True, dh didn't prepare anything, but is he really that clueless? I was exhausted (pregnant, three kids). Would have been fine if he later acknowledged that I did in fact do a lot of work, but he never did (until I mentioned it to him). 6 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More ]
