[quote=Anonymous][quote]Being nice host mother doesn't equal providing stuff. I'm saying that Au pair candidate have cellphones, [quote]know how to prepare food that they like,[/quote][b] have a car or use family car, have education, had work experience ect.in their home countries or abroad. If hosts don't feel like providing above it it's not worth to be an au pair. [/quote]

The HF "knows how to prepare food AP likes".  Ummmmm...how about AP knows how to prepare food that she likes because she is an adult?  We purchase foods we know AP likes...oats, fruits, nuts, almond milk, etc to make the morning muesli she likes to eat...but, I certainly don't prepare her breakfast for her.

[quote]There are AP who comes into the program expecting HF to cook and serve the meals, just like back home when their mom did all the cooking and calls them to the dinner table when the meal is ready. I had one of those prima donnas and after going to her room to tell her dinner is on the table a couple of times, I stopped. We just started dinner without her and she eventually makes her grand entrance. I most certainly will not do all the cooking and then have to also personally go and get her. That was really grating. I go get my kids for dinner because they are children. I don't go search for my spouse to tell him dinner is ready. He knows when it is almost dinner time and comes into the kitchen and start to help set up the table, dish out food etc. That's being an adult. It is this type of AP behavior that leads HF to think that some AP want to continue to be a child, instead of an adult in the household. [/quote]

Yep, we had one of these too and stopped going to get her...really rude and incredibly annoying.[/quote]
