[quote=Anonymous]Yikes, some of you are so harsh!

Our first Au Pair was when my husband was traveling a lot for work and we had an infant and a toddler.  Au Pair could not cook.  Like, literally could not boil water and had never used a microwave.  We of course had to show her how to do these things to prepare simple meals for my toddler and warm up milk and baby food for the baby.  She expected that we would provide her with fully cooked meals without helping us prep them at all.

If my husband was out of town I would come home after working all day and feed my toddler and baby, bathe, and put them down to bed.  At that point I would be so exhausted that a dinner of beer and a bowl of cereal would be my go-to if not for the Au Pair.  We started out the year with her basically going to her room and coming back out at 7:30 asking what I had made her for dinner.  That was really getting on my nerves so when my husband traveled I would get some of those Trader Joe's meals that are easy to put in a pan and heat up or similar and I'd ask her to make it 2 nights per week.  When my husband was home it was a moot point because usually he would cook us all dinner while I put kids to bed.  She didn't like to do it and started going out to eat a lot when my husband was away.  Oh well![/quote]
