[quote=Anonymous]We have 3 weeks left with our AP before she goes on her travel month.  She's been a good Au Pair:  organized, responsible, good with the kids (not great, but good), and we generally have had very few issues.  The one time we did have to have a sit down talk was around leaving the car overnight at different places when she went out with friends and ended up drinking and not wanting to drive home.  We thanked her for being responsible to not drink and drive but asked that she not leave our car in random neighborhoods overnight in the future....take Uber or the bus both ways.  Well....that did not go well.  She was super defensive and upset and didn't talk to us much for a few weeks.  She got over it...but she definitely didn't like being confronted.

She told us about 3 months in that she sometimes smokes when she is out with friends which I really didn't care about at all because I could never smell it and when I was 22 years old I would also smoke a few cigarettes per year when I was out with friends drinking and it didn't ever "stick" and make me a hardcore sober smoker.

Anyway, everyone in our family has noticed her smelling like smoke the last week or so...or smelling like she's put on a ton of perfume to cover a smoke smell.  I don't think she's smoking in the house, it's just on her clothes and hair I guess.

I am torn about confronting her given the 3 weeks left and her horrible reaction the last time I brought something up....but I also find the smell super gross.  The perfume covering the smoke is probably worse than the smoke!  And I don't want her room to smell like that when new AP arrives.
