[quote=Anonymous]I am an Au Pair in Philadelphia. I have been with my host family for a month. 
They're quite nice and warm people and want to make me feel comfortable etc, which is very nice of course.
They are planning a week down to Mexico for a vacation/family wedding and have asked me to stay at home to check on the men remodeling their kitchen (opening the door in the morning, closing it when they leave, checking during the day if everything's ok).
The thing is I'm already kind of homesick and not very happy about their kid (he's kicking me, trying to bite me, talking back a lot etc, he's 7).
Asking me to stay home makes me feel left out and quite sad. I wanted to feel included ...
Do you think it's ok for them to let me home alone like that ?
I'd rather work and don't need the extra time off, I feel like an old pair of socks you don't need.
Maybe it's because I'm from a broken home and expected to be treated like a member of the family.
I'd be happy to hear about what you think. Thank you ![/quote]
