[quote=Anonymous]I can not imagine why anyone would flame you for any part of this post.  Reviewing your cell phone bill is just common sense regardless of who has a cell phone in your family.

Did you make it clear to your Au Pair when she arrived that 1.) texting and talking are illegal in parts of the area; and 2.) she is strictly not allowed, per house rules, to use her phone while driving the car?  if you did not, you should do so now and with all other au pairs who you have in the future.  This should be in writing, too, by the way.

If this were my child, I would handle it exactly the same way as I did with all of our au pairs.  Hard and fast rule, no phone use while car is in drive (that makes sure she isnt using it at stop lights either which can be dangerous as well).  Failure to obey this rule results in loss of cell phone for [i]all [/i]personal use.  Frankly, after having an au pair who was addicted to her phone, (first one in five girls) we instituted the rule that phone was not to be used for her personal socializing when she was "on the job" with the children.

A cell phone is a privledge, not a necessity, regardless of what some people seem to think.  The au pair programs do not require host families to provide a cell phone but, most do, and we always did. [/quote]
