We've been reviewing au pair candidates for a solid week. Tonight, DH says, "Take a look at the latest one they sent us from Brazil, Susannah. I watched her video and she seems the most normal."
I think to myself, "Great! We've had some really strong applications from Brazil, and he seems to like her." I watch the video in stunned silence. "I'm not sure I'd say normal." DH: "Why?" Me: "She has a Christina Aguilera problem." DD, who is 8: "Yes, Mommy, I see why you don't like how she's dressed. Her shirt comes all the way down to here. I like where your shirt is much better." He can hire the ultra hot model gorgeous hanging out all over au pair over my dead body. |
| Nix the au pair route. You'd be looking for trouble no matter what she looks like. Just don't leave this guy at home with any woman. Do yourself a favor and get a live-out sitter. |
| Insecure much, OP? Why shouldn't your husband have some hot young thing around the house? |
If he wants a "hot young thing" let him get a recently manufactured blow up doll. The au pair is a human being, not a goddamn "thing." |
| That au pair sounds unprofessional. Make her wear a polo shirt and khakis uniform every day (that you provide) or find someone that knows how to dress for interacting with kids. |
How do you go through life carrying that chip on your shoulder? Are you normally this obtuse in your real life interactions? It must be exhausting to be you. |
| It's concerning that your 8 year old is picking up on your insecurities. |
| It's obvious that your husband is missing out on something or someone. He watches the video and thinks she is perfect. |
| maybe if you dress like that once in a while OP, your DH won't be salivating over the video, hmmmm??? |
Throw all the insults you want. Women are still never "things." |
| Must be a lot of au pairs posting. My 8 yo knows when someone is dressed inappropriately. If my DH did this, I'd think he was joking. He'd know there's no way in hell I'd hire someone like that for a personal or professional position. I'm right with you, OP! |

Can you look past her boobs, was she a good aupair.
I had gorgeous aupair from brazil, think Selma Hayek. She was loving and easy going so she was a perfect aupair for an infant. She also had lived with twin infants at home so helped care for them. Too bad you are judging her on her looks. |
| Always a bad idea to bring a lamb into the lion's den. |
| I would not invite that trouble into my home. Maybe it's unfair to the really good-looking candidates, but that's just the way it is! |
+1 Yes, that's reality folks. |
