[quote=Anonymous]First - what does your handbook say about vacation weeks?  Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I would say it is ok for you to make that one of her two weeks.  You are giving her enough notice and with her family visiting, she was probably planning on taking that week off anyway. And you asked her to join you and she chose not to.  If its not a big deal to you either way, then don't count it.  It really depends on your own work situation.  But I think the situation allows you to count it as one of her weeks, but talk to her about it soon.

Second - I don't really like people staying in my home when I am not there.  This obviously does not apply to our au pairs.  They have had background checks, they already live with you etc.  But I would not want her family who you haven't even met staying in the house. That's a lot to ask in my opinion.  Especially when its not going so great anyway.  My guess is that kind of attitude is why it may not be going so great anyway? [/quote]
