[quote=Anonymous]I have been a host mother for the past 10 months. I have two children 5.5 and 3.5. Both of my children seem to have fun with our au pair, but I wouldn't say that they are close. My youngest child still cries in the morning when the au pair starts, but warms up to her after a few minutes. Lately, my older child has been telling me that our au pair ignores him and yells at our younger child constantly. My younger son has been telling us he hates her. When I try to get them to explain more, they don't say much more other than that they don't like our au pair and can't wait until the new one starts.

I want to take my children's statements and reactions very seriously, however I want to approach this the right away with our au pair. I've had issues with our au pair throughout the year, nothing major, just issues related to communication and not keeping up on tasks or chores. I know that my kids aren't crazy about her, but I didn't expect them to speak so negatively about her. She's leaving soon, but I don't want to dismiss my kids statements. Any suggestions about how to address these comments? [/quote]
