[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op again. There aren’t a ton of meltdowns that was more an example of her running away. In the morning she doesn’t help the kids move along. She seems to think that she can tell a 5 year old to get dressed and if they didn’t, well they didn’t listen. So I end up monitoring all of the morning rush while she basically unloads the dishwasher and packs a snack. If I ask for more help she gets flustered and starts yelling at the kids which is not helpful. So we sort of divided the tasks right now where I get the kids ready and she does the other tasks. So basically I’m a hot mess every morning when I get to work bc I’ve been running around. So for me the afternoons are working ok with the divide and conquer driving but any crunch time she is useless. I’ve tried talking to her about how to be more helpful but it just isn’t so this is the way we are get out through.[/quote]

Based on this I would definitely not extend. We rematched after about 2 months with an au pair who couldn't handle the morning routine solo, because that's one of the key reasons we have an au pair. I need someone who is absolutely ON IT during crunch time, not someone I have to drag along.[/quote]
