[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going through this now too - new AP is nice, but super quiet.  She's been with us 2 weeks and has warmed up a little, but I took her out on Sunday with us and honestly I just felt like it was a downer to have somebody walking around not saying anything all day.  She doesn't mope or anything, she's just kind of, well, there. She joins us for all of our meals, but only speaks if we ask her a question.  She answers the question and then resumes eating.  I hate being the interrogator just to get an AP integrated - at some point, the effort needs to come from her. The kids like her fine and think that she is sweet, but there is no immediate love. Our old AP will return from her travel month this weekend and I am sure will be her usual talkative, lively self.  We have a goodbye celebration planned for her (new AP won't come - I never invite them and make it clear that this is our time to say goodbye to the outgoing AP only).  And then when she flies home on Monday, we will be back to the new normal blah[/quote]

We have a blah AP who is just "there". I've given up trying. I don't ask her questions any longer and don't invite her anywhwre. She's a total wet blanket. She "fine" with the kids, but they won't miss her. I'm counting the days until she is gone.[/quote]

I may not make it through the year with the blah.  I won't invite her places anymore and hopefully she will find some friends and just eat out on the weekends.  She is really sweet and kind, but I'm just not into drawing people out who don't want to be drawn out.[/quote]
