[quote=Anonymous]Our AP has been with us 6 months and a generally good AP.  She started dating someone shortly after she arrived and they broke up last week.  She's very sad and hurt and super mopey which I understand but she's started totally slacking on her duties.  Dishes left in the sink from her and kids all day (they are at school all day, she's supposed to load the dishwasher after making lunches and breakfast before she has her break), no kid laundry done all week, etc.  She has gone out with her friends every night but not coming home super late or anything. I suspect (because I've witnessed it!) that she's spending most of her time on her phone, sharing her woes with her friends and her family back home.  I totally get it, she's 21 years old, she was pretty into this guy.  I can give her a bit of grace BUT I need to reign it in for her soon.

Any suggestions on how to handle this?  I'm thinking of giving her one more week to be mopey and if she doesn't snap back into being a good AP we will have to say something to her about it.  I feel like if I say something now she will start crying.  She's super fragile right now.....and we have 6 more months to get through....[/quote]
