[quote=Anonymous]What’s the expectation for providing meals to au pair guests staying for mutiple days? Our au pair has a friend here for four days, and it seems the expectation is that au pair and the guest are welcome to raid the fridge and devour whatever they find, including leftovers that were supposed to be the main course for family dinner tonight (and would have been, had au pair’s guest not helped herself twice in the last 24 hours to at least a double portion each time of the leftovers). I don’t mind a guest staying with us, but I do mind having to make entire additional meals because of it. The au pair and guest are nowhere to be seen until they emerge, eat, rinse off half of what they dirtied, and leave. There has been zero effort to share family meal prep, just fridge raiding and goodbye.

Yes, I am frustrated right now. But I really do want to understand expectations here. They’re blowing up my meal planning (I seriously have to make a different family dinner now, on Sunday night) and I’m not super keen on watching huge volumes of food disappear into this guest, to the extent that I have to rethink what’s available for the next meals. I don’t want to be unreasonable but I DO want to be clear with expectations before the next guest arrives.

Advice welcome. Thank you![/quote]
