Is it possible that the other AP wasn’t friendly to her or was putting her in charge of all the kids?[/quote]

I don't think that's too possible- the other kids are actually SUPER EASY (like ridiculously so) and AP never mentioned anything like this, she would just say like "oh I have an excuse" (excuses abound!) and I would be like "np but I do want you guys to go over there. Our last AP did it everyday and became good friends with the other AP and she's pretty rad overall (I think) and my sister works from home so I seriously doubt my AP was being mistreated.

We took her on a skiing trip after she first came, honestly, this is where my annoyance with her all started I think. At one point I remember she was on the phone and asking me to put her ski boots on, and then she missed her lesson just because she lost track of time. She'll also do things like facetime with people at the dinner table while we are all over at a friends house for dinner and then we are sort of like "you know you'd be able to hear better if you went in another room". Just really odd. And a lot of work.

previous APs- do things like take them skiing with us, take them boating, take them places, to games, we do family movie nights and board games (where AP isn't expected to take care of the kids, etc). I generally become quick enough 'friends' with my APs, but this one ... I'm just not sure of her true motivations to be an au pair, ya know? She hasn't really bonded with any of the kids or any of us, doesn't come out to do things with us, etc. My teenager even asked me to please speak with her about her BO. I'm really not sure she isn't depressed I just don't know what to do about it, ya know?

Wow lot of things wrong with her behavior tbh. Just hold the course until things get better.[/quote]
