[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's betrayal because they've lived together for 16 months (with an agreement of 24 months) and she just walked out. It's okay when things don't work out, but just up and leaving people you regard as a second family without a discussion and without any notice is hurtful. I sense you're not a host family, so try to think of it from the perspective of an au pair who is thrown out with zero notice. There's something called loyalty and even when a relationship goes sour, you can leave in a manner that doesn't harm either party (eg, "host mom, I'm sorry, but I need to leave in 2 weeks." And then a proper goodbye to the kids that have grown to love AP.) [/quote] The host family must have known for some time that she was not happy, so I doubt this is a surprise to them. I get the feeling she was being taken advantage of[/quote]
