[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have 3 more months with what will be our final Au Pair.  She's nice.  She's sweet to the kids, they like her.  She is also super annoying to my husband and me.  She's needy and she sings constantly.  Constantly.  And she was on vacation all last week which made me realize that we don't need her.  Life was actually easier without her.  She makes the kids lunches in the morning but isn't able to do that and manage getting the rest of the morning tasks done so I end up having them brush their teeth, etc.  When she was gone it was like only an extra 10 minutes per morning to do the lunches.  She can't handle even simple discipline and she can't do anything independently.  We have to write out a checklist for everything for her.  And she still forgets.  She is looking to extend (not with us....we told her it was our last year when we matched).  Does anyone know if it's possible to let her go early and match with a family for 3 months and then extend?  Do we get any kind of refund?  We have hosted for 9 years and never had a rematch or an au pair who was so unable to anticipate our needs.[/quote]

We have one like this minus the singing.  We have until July 30th and I cannot wait. This happened this weekend (My kids are older, our AP is 18, which is the first problem).  We all went out to dinner. We were driving home and DH and I said, we are going to drop you all home and head out and get a drink.  WE pull into the driveway and the kids get out and she stays in. I'm like "what are you doing?" [/quote]
 
sorry got cut off. and she says "I thought I was going with you two?". My DH said, no, scram. Why would she think she is going out with DH and I for a drink on a Saturday night?

Her social ques are non-existent.  She will sit in the kitchen staring at DH and I while we have a private conversation. I have to be all awkward and ask her to leave the room...like she's a child. AUPAIR FROM HELL.[/quote]

This made me laugh. So funny. What on earth!? [/quote]

It was so weird. But this is just one of many awkward situations.[/quote]
