Thank you for sharing your experience!

I expected that our Au Pair would be gone more than she is home for sure and there are days that I actually kind of like having the house to ourselves but the idea of a shared family dinner once or twice a week was exactly what we were hoping for. We are normally home by 5:30 on weekdays and then I cook most nights. I was really hoping we would all bond and have this amazing cultural exchange experience... ? now I am thinking that isn't the norm from what I have read. Do you think it is mainly the family not being willing to bond normally or the Au Pair. I am just wondering if we find another Au Pair next year, will it always be this difficult? [/quote]

How old is your au pair?  We've had 3 au pairs and 2 of them had dinner with us almost every weeknight and the other had dinner with us, on average 2-3 times per week.  All of au pairs have been gap year Europeans.  I think the younger au pairs are more likely to be looking for the whole family experience. [/quote]
