[quote=Anonymous]I'm the poster.  We made clear when we interviewed that we usually didn't eat big dinners during the week.  In the past, they were quick meals for us and we eat quickly in order to put our kids to sleep. This year, I have made a lot more weekday meals when I come home from downtown because of the pressure of feeding her. We didn't have the same experience with previous au pairs.  She doesn't seem to be coordinated enough to cook a meal when she's watching the kids.  On the two weekday nights of the week that she prepares the kids' dinner, it is usually just pasta with parmesan cheese, chicken nuggets or sometimes a piece of baked chicken or salmon if I defrost it and tell her to make it. She, on the other hand, comes up right before dinner, and then eats a lot (much more than my husband and me so there are never leftovers) and then doesn't ever offer to help with dishes, put away etc.  We've asked her to help and to do what she does at her house, and she doesn't ever seem to remember to even stay around long enough to clean up.  She's good with the kids in many ways but not at cooking or keeping things tidy at all.
