[quote=Anonymous]Oh my God...I'm so sorry to hear that, OP. This is exactly what I was talking about with my first AP. I was nice, nice, nice and it blew up in my face. The extra 2 week stay allowed her to ruin the holidays for my own family, not to mention my son's bday party as she cried in my living room in front of our guests.

With her, I gave and gave...did everything I could to make her experience a good one...even loading my son in the car at 3am one Saturday night when she called me crying that her new "friends" had abandoned her at a party and she had no way to get home. I bent over backwards to avoid being a "mean" HM. And guess what? The second I said "no" to something (as you remember from my previous post about her boyfriend and the airport), we were magically in rematch! But I'm so glad I stood my ground on that one. Being overly nice got me nowhere with these ungrateful girls, other than completely stressed out.

One question, OP...does the Au Pair company take any responsibility here? They were the ones who asked that she stay longer than the time period stated in their own guidelines...and this accident happened during that requested extra time...so can they not take some of the blame/financial hit? It should at least show them how much of an imposition it is on families to continue housing these unfit Au Pairs while they scramble to make a cost-effective (for their company) rematch. [/quote]
