[quote=Anonymous]I will also add that your statement that we "expect so much" is also misleading.  What we expect, is that the person we hire to do a job completes the job.  That's really all host parents want - that our au pairs focus on our children during their work hours and then essentially, be respectful of our house and car during their off-hours.  The host parents you see complaining have au pairs that are doing things on-duty such as not watching the kids, not completing their duties such as kids' laundry, spending tons of time on duty on their cell phones, etc.  These are the things that host parents complain about.  Know why?  Because we hire someone to do a job, spend thousands of dollars, offer up a room in our home and our car and our food and deal with the inconveniences of living with someone, for what - someone that isn't even pretending to care about watching our kids.  It feels like taking advantage, and it sucks.

If you disagree, then please, offer to house someone and pay their living expenses totally free of charge for a year, spend the entire year worrying that your kids are unsafe and unhappy AND flush $25,000 down the toilet, and tell me how you feel.  [/quote]
