[quote=Anonymous]OP I had this exact situation last year with my au pair and the mom of a classmate. She kept calling my au pair to arrange playdates that included picking her child up from school and spending the entire afternoon with her when the mom had to work a part time job. She never invited my child to play at their house. Finally, I called the mom and said all playdates needed to be organized through me -- not directly through the au pair. I thought that would help; it did not. She still texted my au pair. I told her she needed to pay her if she expected her to watch her child. She blew up at me and said that in her country (which she left more than 10 years ago) moms helped each other out. I said that may be true, but I see the helping going only one way and not the other. Needless to say she didn't speak to me again, but my poor au pair was relieved.[/quote]
