[quote=Anonymous]A few times a day, our au pair makes sure to let us know that something is way better in her country and isn't good in our country. It's stuff that is ludicrous. For example, we were in a restaurant and it was a little chilly. I said "oh they have the AC awfully high" and she said "it's so much better in my country - they don't have air conditioning anywhere so it's never cold like this." Everything we serve her for dinner, any candy she tries, any clothing she buys, any place we go, anything about Americans in the news is always an opportunity to tell us how it sucks in the US and its great in her country. She eats these sour candies from her country, so I got something very similar for her and when she tried them, she made an awful face and spit it out sayin it was way too sweet. I've had both candies and they are exactly the same.

It is slowly driving me insane.  I have so far been ignoring it, but I need it to end. Any suggestions for how to suggest to her that she might want to keep a more open mind or at least not insult everything about the country and the host family she has chosen?[/quote]
