[quote=Anonymous]There clearly is a disconnect between what host families report as the experience and what au pairs report. That is what the OP was referring to when they talked about people reminiscing about slavery-not that APs are slaves- but that there is a very different perspective between those in power and those serving. People in the post-Antebellum South insisted that their slaves were a very loved part of the family, but the slaves did not perceive it as so. Just as today's testimony shows that many APs are very saddened by their lowly status in their new families. No one is saying that APs were captured, sold into slavery, have no recourse...rather we are saying that it can be very painful to expect to be an exchange student and then be treated as a servant.
