[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's ridiculous to store alcohol in your bedroom when you're an Au Pair. Yes that makes you look like an alcoholic.
You can have drinks with other Au Pairs when out on weekends, in bars or restaurants.
Storing alcohol in your bedroom shows you want to hide it.
You could have found a place for it in the kitchen.
We don't buy your story, French AP.[/quote]

Lol do you realize that most host families suggest to their AP that they store all the snacks and things they don’t want to see their kids seeing or eating in their room away from kids view. How is storing a bottle of wine for later use, any different than storing a dozen packs of candies?

Were you my host mom and had you stepped into my room you would have seen the alcohol immediately, it was on a high shelf away from the reach of the kids BUT very much in full-view, not hidden under my pillow.

If someone is an alcoholic and wanted to hide it, they surely wouldn’t hide it in full-view of their host mom in their room (unless OP comes back to say she went through her AP stuff and found it hidden under her pillow).

An alcoholic will drink no matter what, storing the alcohol in the fridge or living room wouldn’t prevent the AP from drinking it on her free time (or whenever) really?

Like I said, most/ a lot of families  have an alcohol cupboard as well as a glass/bottle of wine at diner or a beer when watching TV (with, shock horror, their kids around) should I presume they are alcoholic and call CPS on them ? You are being ridiculous.

I did store alcohol in my room as it was my only private space in the house, but I was also the AP who would always refuse the glass of wine/beer/alcohol offered to me by host families at dinner/gathering. I don’t drink with food as I don’t see the need but will drink on a night out. I buy bottles because alcohol in restaurants and bars is incredibly expensive and so I would much rather have a bottle of alcohol I can bring to my friends house to pre-game etc... not hard to picture surely.

If you can’t «buy it» you must have lived a very sheltered life.
