[quote=Anonymous]I agree with OP, some of you are making more of this situation than necessary. Making a car available to the AP at all times so she can shop, go to  Starbucks, the gym and hang out with friends is not a priority when 2 working host parents need to prioritize their needs and work schedules. As OP stated, it is not mandatory that a car be provided and she just needs to work out an agreement with AP regarding a reasonable schedule. This situation is best for an AP who does not set a high expectations for use of a car at all times. Being transparent during the search process is key, but suggesting that a family invest in another vehicle just to satisfy an AP is frivolous and unnecessary.

I see it very often that families are providing excessive perks that only create entitled APs. Hence many are having problems with silly tantrums from APs who only want to provide basic care yet expect lavish perks. Having an AP compalin about not have cleaning service for living quarters, fully paid gym memberships, gourmet/expensive grocery items, car access to shop and sip lattes, etc. is a problem that I will never have nor will I engage in that foolishness. Invest your money more wisely in a properly trained nanny as opposed to mindless perks for an au pair. [/quote]
