[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.

In my handbook I specify that I need to meet any friends that will come over/stay at my home. They can't visit during working hours, but after I've met them, they can come during off-hours.

I went away this past weekend with my kids. I told the AP that I would like no visitors while I'm gone. The reason I said this is because I have not met ANY of her friends. None. They are all strangers to me. She said OK and that she would never have anyone over without my permission.

She had someone over while I was away, despite this. Did not tell me or ask me.

[quote]No policy. Never thought of it. As long as nothing illegal is going on and i return to a clean home, what do I care?[/quote]

Why should you care?

I am not OK with a stranger in my home that I do not know. I hardly know my au pair as she's never around to get to know. Then I am supposed to be OK with one of her friends around?

How do you know nothing illegal is happening? [/quote]

I've  been doing this 8 years and to my knowledge nothing illegal has gone on and I've  never once had a problem. I do indeed hire carefully . If i cant  trust an AP to not bring criminals and meth heads in my  house when I'm  gone, then why in  the hell would i trust  her with the most important things in my life, my children? Thats some ass backwards logic  not adult enough to have guests , but someohoe adult  enough to be in carge of your kids for hours on end.. I don't  hire people so immature and irresponsible that they  cant make sound decisions regarding house guests.[/quote]

This!!! Totally agree.[/quote]
