[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow you all are doing some serious stereotyping. [/quote]

Yep, we are. But when you are housing someone who takes care of your kids for a year based on a few skype interviews and a poorly-written application, you go with what you've got. It's not like a nanny where you can talk to the last 3 employers and get a good sense of the person.[/quote]

It is WRONG to hold an entire race of people accountable for the actions of individuals. There is no defense of this behavior. [/quote]

It's a country, not a race. And it's perfectly reasonable to decide you don't want an au pair from a particular country for any reason. Some people don't like Germans and Swedes because they are too cold. Some don't like Latin APs because they may not be on time enough, etc. Different countries and cultures have different tenancies. Of course there are exceptions to every rule, but I'm not taking my chances sticking my kids in a car with someone who has a license from Thailand, where the driving is crazy and the licencing process is a joke.[/quote]

So is it okay to judge all host moms as a cheap stereotyping monolith? [/quote]

Sure, you can decide who lives in your house based on any criteria you choose.[/quote]
