[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, poor her, 2BD apt in Milan. Compared to a basement room in a big house in an anonymous DMV suburb. Such a dumb American thing to say; that’s why we are the but of jokes everywhere. Everyone lives in apartments in Milan Rome Paris. You should be so lucky to have a chance at a 2BD in one of these places, middle aged suburban housewife.[/quote]You are aware of what happened in Italy in the spring, right?  She had a terrible time being essentially locked inside for months on end.  They weren't even allowed outside to exercise..  Her grandparents died of COVID and she couldn't see them.  So yes, she'd rather not be sharing a room with her younger sister 24/7 and not allowed fresh air as they lock down again.   [/quote]

I can’t even. Do you have access to anything other than the Fox News? Or are you saying you are taking advantage of her situation and her grief? 
She could do better than your household. USA is having one of the worst outbreaks ever. [/quote]My information comes from her.  We've spoken daily since the pandemic hit in March, having matched earlier in the year.   Why do you think you know better than her what she'd prefer?  She's very excited for moving her life forward after being stuck in stasis for so many months.  She'd worked in the tourist industry at home, but there are no jobs.  At this point we've agreed she wont come until summer at the earliest. But she was weeks away from arriving and very, very disappointed when Trump put the ban in place. [/quote]

Two things. Separate. 2BD apt in a top European city is worth more than your house, so your lame attitude made me laugh. Two, now you know that the market is demanding you offer a better price and conditions to your au pair so you better do it or you’re no better than hostage taking exploiter. [/quote]
