[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of our APs extended for second year with a local family; it lasted less than a month before she asked for rematch.

A couple months later the former HF called me and actually asked if we were still in touch with our former AP (we were) and asked me if I had any idea what went wrong (I think they were having issues with their rematch AP).

Anyway, I straight up told them they were a bad host family (really late hours, like 11pm end of shift, disorganized and poor communication) compared to most we knew of; and their high rematch rate (like 4 or 5 rematches in 8 years) is a reflection of the them, not the APs.

Some families just suck - like ones trying to stick an AP on a couch for a week...let alone 2 weeks.  Some people are just lame; bad for the program and probably not that great of people in general.[/quote]

I know a lot of people like this. They're just totally not concerned about anyone else's feelings -- if it's good (or necessary) for them, then it's fine for anyone else affected by it, particularly if they are paying (or paying for) that person.

Somehow they think all the money they pay to the agency, which the au pair does not share in, and the cost of housing/feeding her justifies asking her to totally give up all rights to dislike any aspect of her job or ask to do it differently.[/quote]
