[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a longtime host mom I find I’m happiest when I will myself into blindness about what is in the sink or on the counter. All my au pairs have had their strengths and weaknesses. One cleaned (like good deep clean) the kitchen every day but also bickered with my eldest like an annoying sibling. Current au pair is not great about picking up after herself but lingers after she’s off shift snuggling the baby. I have yet to have an au pair I would really call a dud. [/quote] Same here. My first AP would load the dishwasher so haphazardly I thought she had to be trolling me. But now I ignore the small things (or try my best lol). If my kid are happy and safe then I can let a dirty dish (even if it's every day) slide. I also try hard to look for the extra things that AP has done and not take them for granted; helps me rationalize not caring about that dirty dish.[/quote]
