[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't sound like you are providing her with any emotional support or that pre-virus, you devoted any time to actually fostering a true cultural exchange (teaching someone how to microwave popcorn doesn't cut it). I do kids laundry, and then leave it in a basket on the dining room table and ask AP to fold and put away. I also leave a handheld vacuum in the kitchen and a swiffer, and strategically made coffee around the end of breakfast a couple of times and asked her to do me a favor and clean under the high chair after. Or rinse and put dishes in dishwasher. They do not always read the handbook or understand the handbook. Try to work with the AP instead of essentially expecting the AP to be your housekeeper. Let the AP train you on how to be a better house family and parents to older children - it's good training for when you have teenagers. [/quote]

Oh, I agree with this. It has been an unusual relationship, and circumstances, and we'd been planning on rematching we were just waiting for Spring Break. It's ok, I'd just like to make the best of it all around.

So what do you suggest I start with in terms of cultural exchange? We've not had trouble with this in the past... [/quote]

What did you do for past Au pairs to expose them to different cultural activities? [/quote]
