[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I imagine there is more to this story (i.e. the other side).  Before you go for rematch, start with trying to talk about your concerns with HPs.  You don't say you've done that.  "can we talk?  I am concerned about following the rules of the program.  My shifts should not be longer than 10 hours.  . .  I feel like the kids should have some time outside.  What can we do to make you feel at ease about letting me take them to the part or the library?"

If that conversation doesn't help, time to bring in the LCC.  Try again.  If that doesn't work, request rematch.  [/quote]

I agree - talk with the host family. The eleven hours are a violation. Make sure they know that- they should, but maybe they're disorganized. The chores are too much. Our au pair emptied the dishwasher as a community responsibility-- everything else was child related cleaning (picking up toys or doing kids laundry). 
The host family is taking advantage of you and breaking the rules -  speak up. If it doesn't improve- complain to your agency and rematch. [/quote]
