[quote=Anonymous]Op here.  I acknowledged that I can't ask her to not use the public parts of our home.  I realize this is part of hosting.  But just as the pp au pair said that she was uncomfortable going out and socializing so much, I am uncomfortable with this much socializing in my own home.  It's just a poor match in that regard.  As I said, I do love her as a person and AP.  I don't even want to be around my own family this much, so it's not personal.  I think I would like advice about what questions would be best to ask our next potential AP so that we have a better match in this way next time. I have loved hosting APs for the last 8 years and our former APs are all good friends of ours who have visted and we have visited them, so I don't really want to drop out of the program.  And it's not so much about being a homebody as it is about how much she wants to spend time alone or with friends in her room or go out vs hanging out in our family spaces.  It's not that I want to spend NO time at home in family spaces with our AP.  We enjoy her company.  It's just a matter of degree and feeling a bit like she has, well, taken over a bit more of our space than we are used to.  This is part of finding a good 'match', no offense meant.  [/quote]
