[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't she have asian food at family dinners?  Why can't you eat it?[/quote]

OP. Because I refuse to change EVERY SINGLE MEAL to Asian food. She can make and have her rice with breakfast and lunch. She sometimes pulls it out as a side to whatever dinner we're having. But part of being an au pair here shouldn't just be about getting a visa. We make it clear that au pairs need to be open to trying new foods and "American" experiences. We also make it clear that we have expectations for weekday family dinners, so no, she cannot skip out on dinner and eat her own thing later. This fits better with European au pairs who also have this expectation, but I don't see how it's such a terrible imposition to make our au pair join us for a family dinner at a minimum of 4 nights a week.[/quote]

During working hours, sure, she can be forced to be at the table helping, but she can also eat later once she’s off the clock.  And if she’s not working, she doesn’t even need to be at the table.[/quote]
