[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can be because she wants another city (you can't blame her - expectactions vs reality) or because your child is really tough to manage. And if that's the case it's not too late to teach him to behave.[/quote]

We regularly “teach him to behave,” but like any five year old, he has his tough days. I think it’s a combination of her wanting to live in her first choice city and not knowing how to deal with my child and what is developmentally normal for a five year old [/quote]

I have a tough child who has tested each AuPair to the outer limits. I'm amazed none have quit.  He even went through a hitting phase. It was hell for everyone. Luckily he ended up learning how to behave. We did find out there German and Austrian APs were best for him. Though they are not the warmest he responds best to someone who can be strict and stick to their guns. We found the German culture is suited for this.

You really cant blame her if he is constantly trying to have a power struggle.[/quote]
