[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our au pairs are always welcome to join us. They're part of our family while they're here. But they're also 22-24 yo and don't want to hang out with middle aged parents and kids all the time. They join us occasionally but mostly do their own thing on weekends. They also join us more when they first arrive and less and less as the year goes on and they have a bigger social network. Au pairs often get excited about kid birthday parties, which they view as an event and American culture, and want to attend. I started out assuming au pairs wouldn't want to come given that they're usually both boring and chaotic, but I was wrong. They're often very excited to attend.[/quote] +1. If you can’t get comfortable with this mindset, the au pair thing is probably not right for you. [/quote]
