[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for the comments.  Particularly the first link to aupairmom blog (I had looked there, but didn't see that posting for some reason).

We are already at the point of receiving the paperwork, and have to make a decision within the next 3 weeks.  Our AP brought up the topic (we were discussing actually travel at Xmas, assuming her year would be over).  And, LOL, she is a 19yr old German.

I would be pretty shocked if suddenly upon extension she is out all night partying.  She does not have a boyfriend now (nor has she had one since she arrived).  She is not as into family participation, and I am generally OK with that (I just wish there would be some more interaction during meals!).  I am worried about her potentially becoming mopey/bored/homesick as life here is no longer so "new."

We still do have 3 weeks to decide so we're going to try to explore with her the reason(s) why she wants to extend, and if she's thought about whether she can keep up her enthusiasm for the job, etc.  Maybe that will help us make the decision.[/quote]
