[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A family member has no time off![/quote] A mom or dad might have no time off, although if you have an au pair you probably do, but when they say an au pair is like a family member, they don't mean they're like the kids' mom or dad. They're like a big sister or brother, or an aunt or uncle, or some other relative who might pitch in sometimes but is not the primary caregiver. In my mind, the au pair doesn't do anything where they are responsible for the kid unless they specifically offer. We don't have an au pair, but we have a young adult relative who lives with us and babysits our kids. If the relative is choosing to play video games with my kid and offers to let him stay while I run to the store, I don't pay for that. But I don't ask. [/quote]
