[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your au pair has a personality disorder. She is difficult and will not change. You are a good person to have made it work for the past two years and have invested a lot of emotional energy into making someone who cannot and will not appreciate it. At this point she has been a significant part of your children's lives for two years and you should do whatever is the best parental role modeling for them in the situation. They will need an opportunity to say goodbye to her so they are not negatively affected by the sudden loss of one of their "family" members. You do not need to have her keep working or provide additional money or gifts. You could tell her that you appreciate her work over the past two years, are giving her the remainder of the time off, and she no longer has any childcare duties. Good luck this week and you will feel much better when she is gone. Let us know what happens. [/quote]
