[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have to worry about your husband cheating...then something is up in your marriage and you should explore that thru therapy. Blaming an AP for being "bait" for your husband just tells me there's insecurity and you need to wait on the AP.

There are so many families that have successful years with au pairs. The % of those that this happens to has to be super low.

Most AP moms in fact do not leave their husbands at home all day, and every day with an au pair. You're sounding a bit naive.[/quote]

I agree with the posters who have pointed out that a husband+AP-at-home-all-day situation is only worrisome from a cheating perspective if that is generally a problem in the marriage (or has the potential to be).  I have no qualms with my work-at-home-husband being home all day with our APs.

The more realistic problems with this situation arise because of the dynamic that is created when any parent (male or female) is home all day with the AP; you have to establish boundaries and protocols so that the AP can properly do her job.  Kids tend to behave differently when their parents are around, or when they know they can run to their parents.[/quote]
