[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a 25 year old au pair who has a dedicated car who works with our toddler. Many of the AP’s social activities and the toddler’s activities have been cancelled. Still, we would not dream of trying to control the AP’s private life or stop her from taking the toddler to any activities that are still happening. One or more of them would go crazy. Our house would be destroyed by the toddler. Instead we have encouraged the AP to invite friends over for movie nights. We have found outdoor activities for her and for the toddler. We have hosted friends for dinner. You cannot stop living and you cannot stop her from living. [/quote]

No. You want a slave. There are no activities to go to now. If our AP wants to go jogging. Have a handful of friends over for homemade pizza. Go hiking in the Shenandoah on her day off. She needs to do whatever keeps her sane. She can’t go home. She can’t take the vacations she planned. If we want her to be able to function as an AP, she needs downtime. We are not jailers. [/quote]

You really are the problem! My sister lives in Northern Italy: There are only allowed to go to 3 places: grocery shopping, hospital/doctor office, work. If they catch you doing anything else you get a ticket and a criminal record.  We are a just a couple of weeks behind Italy. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR PEOPLE TO GET IT?  STOP the selfishness![/quote]
