[quote=Anonymous]If you don't want to go through rematch I would have a serious reset conversation. Tell her how important it is for you to have family only time and also for her to enjoy meeting friends and experiencing the U.S. with people her own age. If needed, set clear boundaries, weekends are for family only time unless you invite her to a special activity. Again sell it as you really want her to go out and experience the city. I would also say things very clearly - well I need to get dinner started so why don't you head up to your room and I'll call you when it is ready? Can you help her with a gym membership, library card, free language lessons where she might make some friends? I would also really help her find friends - maybe talk to the LCC, post in Au pair family groups etc. If she can't change this soon I would rematch. Or find a temporary nanny for a few months.
