[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+2.  NP here, not a twin mom, but I had an au pair with a traveling husband, full time job, and 4 small children.  It was a disaster, and it was not my au pair's fault at all.  I was in way over my head, and I needed a lot more help than what she was able to provide, and it caused a lot of strain on our relationship.  Imagine that she has worked 9 hours while you were at work, and now she is sitting in her room down the hall texting while you have twins in bouncy seats and are bathing your toddler.  It's hard not to feel annoyed.

just curious- what solution did you come up with.  I'm a working mom of 4 also, and I understand what you mean that you get annoyed when AP is hanging out after her 9 hours while you just worked a full day and now have to come home to make dinner, baths, etc. Although of course AP has worked her full day so she should be off.
Did you get a live-in nanny?  and if so, do they work in the evening too?
or did you get a live-out nanny?  and at least you don't have to share your house in the evening with someone who is not helping out.
just trying to figure out what the best solution is for our family[/quote]
