[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does she need to ask you if she can use the car? I would be more specific about when it’s available in general and not make her keep asking. Example, she has the car during the day with the kids but at 4pm when u are done working you need it for the kids. On Mon and Tues eve bids it’s not available to get because you do X. But you won’t need the car on Wednesday evenings so she can use it then and should plan her social life accordingly. Weekends during the day she should assume you’re using it but should ask to use it on weekend evenings….. or obviously what works for you. I wouldn’t reset over this because I think you  need to let go of the car control a bit. How much screen time is she giving them and how old are they? If you say 2 hours snd she’s doing 3-4 in a 10 hour day but also does other fun things with them for 6 hours a day I would let that go too. [/quote]

She has to ask to use the car because it’s not her car. It’s not even an aupair car, it’s a shared car. An adult who owns and insures a car does not need to make a schedule with an aupair who does not own or pay insurance for the car. It’s not her car. 
 
[/quote] this is extremely controlling. I hope you made it clear in the interview she would have to ask you each and every time. It sounds awful. [/quote]

We made it clear in the interview that the car would mostly be for use during time with the kids and that she has a $300/month uber credit for her own time.  If she wanted to use the car in her own time, she should ask.  That doesn't seem unreasonable.[/quote]
