Because they aren't even half way through their year and if aupair gets upset about something else, she can use the rule breaking as ammunition for her case.[/quote]

WHAT CASE?  The case that they are a horrible host family?  Even if it gets to that, what is the consequence for any of them.  If they have other issues and the AP brings this up, is it really going to matter?

I'm not advocating for breaking the rules but I find the drama about this quite hysterical.  Unless the family habitually breaks a bunch of rules or does something really awful, there is really no consequence for host families bending the rules like this (particularly when it's really murky and the AP agreed to the arrangement for a week).

Everyone please untwist your panties.[/quote]

+1  Also, it's sad that doing something really nice (& expensive) for the AP is a cause for such concern. Bottom line, if the AP or HF want out of the year at some time, they will find a way.  Relationships cannot be 100% legislated. No relationship comes without its risks, but inviting an AP on a cruise seems like a big benefit to her.  The only suggestion I have is that she and your MIL agree in advanced on any "curfew" so neither is too inconvenienced.[/quote]
