[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t know anything about my kids or our family, so I don’t really need that type of comment. Yes, my kids are easy. 
My oldest asked her if she could use her iPad to FaceTime me, despite a no screens rule during the week, and au pair didn’t say no, even though she knows the rules. Then the next day she said she didn’t know what to say when dd asked her. I said to tell her no and remind her of the rule. If she’d done that my dd would’ve listened. She is testing some boundaries but is not difficult in other ways. [/quote]

Your child knew the rule.  She broke the rule.  That is your child's fault, not the au pair and you should punish your child.  You need to parent your kid.  Put away teh iPad so its not even an issue.  That is not an easy child. That is a manipulating child.[/quote]

wow, NP here, do you have any kid? so your kid always follow the rules? they never test your boundaries? Your comment is  ridiculous.
People say here all the time not to settle for a not stellar AP, now that OP want to do that, people go crazy.

OP, do what you need to do. If you plan to rematch you should refuse that her family stays at your place, you dont want her to be in rematch and looking for a place for her parent at the same time. I also think that you should rematch as soon as possible to be fair, not plan it around your schedule.[/quote]

Yes, I have kids but mine don't take electronics without permission and they'd get in a lot of trouble if one parent or someone else said no and they went to another adult who said yes.  We also put them away so its a non-issue when we are clear they cannot use it.  That is a parenting issue.  If parents said no, you punish the child.  [/quote]
