[quote=Anonymous]This au pair ^^^ is making an excellent point. We tend to think that if we are nice and social with an au pair, and welcome them into our family, that they will reciprocate (since that is the basis of the program). But some au pairs don't buy into the philosophy of the program and they are not being genuine in the beginning about their intentions. There's no way to fix that. You can either put up with a shallow relationship with a miserable au pair, or rematch and find an au pair who is genuinely looking for a connection with the family. We gave up on our au pair who didn't want a connection with us and rematched. My only regret was that we didn't do it sooner. Like the au pair here ^^^ mentioned, the miserable au pair went home and we never spoke to her again. But all of our other au pairs are still in our lives and are very special to us. If an au pair is intent on being an outsider, then she will be, and there is no coaxing her in. And that's okay, because there are au pairs in rematch who are looking for warm and loving families and will be a much better fit. [/quote]
