[quote=Anonymous]In my experience, it depends on the aupair. Our first aupair ate every meal with us so we didn't mind cooking extra for her and sharing because she truly felt like family (we still keep in touch and she has even visited several times!). Our second aupair started having dinner with us for first 2 months but then decided to tell us she wanted to eat dinner later like her friends even though I had told her dinner time was a time for us to all talk together and get to know each other. I was a little hurt at this, but continued to make enough for her to have leftovers for 2 months but then realized some of the leftovers would be thrown out because she decided to eat at restaurants or with her friends or boyfriend. I decided it was clear she didn't like the food I made, so I just buy her any groceries she wants and she cooks for herself while I only make enough dinner for our family. This aupair never interacts with our family when she's off the clock so it is just a job for her. I would probably have to include it as part of her hours if she had dinner with us. I miss our first aupair all the time because she felt like a true part of our family...it was very different but the second one takes good care of kids so I'm not willing to go into rematch over it even though she never interacts with us off the clock.[/quote]
