[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a similar experience albeit not as extreme. She was very sweet when she first came here. As she spent more time in the US, she became very label focused. I felt bad for her. It seemed like the American materialism machine really did her in.

It also seemed like she became more resentful of having to watch kids. In the end I’m not sure she even liked kids!  I think this was a function of being around other Au pairs and young people and just developing an attitude about it. It was sad for sure!  But also maybe young people have to go through these phases to figure out who they are, what they want to do with their lives, etc. [/quote]

OP - yes, same here in re resentfulness. She did tell me about mid-way through that she didn't want children because "they are too much work." They ARE too much work lol, she ain't wrong. I came to think the childcare was a concession to getting out of her home country during Covid (not that everyone who works in childcare has to do it out of magnanimity, but still), and that maybe even she didn't know beforehand she wouldn't actually LIKE to spend so much time with kids. But, yes, I sensed mounting resentfulness later in her term. Maybe that's true what the other poster said, it seems so ludicrous about the rumors of secret piles of money, but who knows. [/quote]
