[quote=Anonymous]We've had a number of minor issues throughout our year with our au pair.  But I'll leave all that out because I am wondering if our past has clouded my judgment on this latest one.

My preschool aged son is very interested in musical instruments.  My au pair told me last night that she had made plans to take him to a music store this morning (which I thought was a nice idea) ... and had invited a friend of hers to join them there who is very good at playing some instruments.  I have met this friend once in passing and he seemed nice.  He is not an au pair; she told me that he is a college student that she has known for a few months.

I told her I was not comfortable with this for two reasons - (1) I don't know this person; and (2) I had concerns that it was a social event for her benefit rather than for my son and that I would prefer just she and my son spend the day together.  She said she had simply thought it would be fun for my son to go to the store with someone who knew about music and instruments because she does not, and that they would probably be bored if it was just she and my son going.

My compass on these things are now entirely off because of the number of "walk the line" issues we've had.  Thoughts?[/quote]
