[quote=Anonymous]We've hosted many au pairs over the years, and generally overlook the small stuff, but I'm really not enjoying dinner with our current au pair due to their table manners. Typically, as we correct our children on their manners, our au pairs pick up on what's expected and things improve with time, but that is not happening here. We eat dinner together every night and I think at least my oldest sees that the au pair isn't held to the same standard that he is, but he has enough wherewithal to know better than to say anything in front of everyone. I would certainly not say anything in front of the kids, and I would probably couch it under a "cultural information" conversation (i.e. this is what you may want to think about if you start dating anyone here), but I don't know if that's the right way to go about it or not.
