[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm the poster that responded to you second about having a similar au pair this year. Your second post makes yours sound even more like mine. It is purely immaturity and life experience in our case. I agree with you that taking a hard line on it isn't really what you want, but I can tell you that not doing anything about it and letting it drive me crazy has not worked either. Honestly I don't really know the solution (obviously), but the immaturity has made for a miserable year. I kept expecting her to act her age and act like a person who wanted to take on and enjoy the enormous responsibility of coming to a new country, and she never met me there. She stayed at the level of acting like a teenager all year. I finally had to just lower my expectations for her performance and struggle through. We're not having another AP after this one because of how not worth it its been for us. I'm sorry to be doom and gloom, but if you think this is just her personality, you have a long road ahead of you unless you can somehow tell her to shape up or just find a reason to rematch and try again.
