[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She thinks you are fancy rich. I’m sure she’s bragging about this to her aupair friends. 
If you aren’t fancy rich and can’t cover her ridiculous bills, don’t. 
We provide “room and board” but we aren’t required to provide Tastefully appointed Airbnb’s and dining out with lattes every morning. Sit down with her and your LCC (if needed) and explain you can’t continue because it’s beyond the spirit of the aupair program (this is the nebulous reason used when the real reason is usually a “wtf, no.”) and you need her to try eating with your family or you will provide a small stipend for her to use. Offer $40/week but leave room to wiggle.

At the heart of this, it’s an exchange program not a work study. They are supposed t[b]o be integrated with a family to leave culture/foods/family life in exchange for childcar[/b]e. [/quote]

Exactly this!  Don't tell me you don't like the food when that's what we shared with you before coming.  When I was in Peace Corps, trust me, I did not get entitled about food![/quote]
