[quote=Anonymous]Op here!  Sorry for not following up - I have been enjoying having my privacy and house back!

First, big thank you to all of you who took time to respond and give your thoughts / support.

Second, the week wasn’t so bad. I generally steered clear of her and she knew she had f’ed up so she was on good behavior. I ended up having a conflict on her last night so my husband hosted her au pair friends for a good night sushi dinner and then they took her out. She and I had a civil goodbye. At the end of the day, I’m an adult and unlike her, I can handle my emotions. So I thanked her for her help, she thanked me and that was that. We gave her a small “bonus” ($200). And now I never have to think about her again - woo hoo!!!

To the posters calling my kid brat, snot, etc. - you are on an anonymous board calling a 4 year old child names… might be time to re-evaluate whatever is going on in you life…

I assume the posts about my kid “deserving” this or the au pair being justified are troll posts?  But if not… if you believe that an adult is entitled to take out her aggression on a four year old child, I am truly sorry for whatever life experiences led you to that conclusion. No child should be physically threatened because an adult cannot control her emotions. This post wasn’t about whether the au pair was or was not in the wrong. She was wrong. If you disagree, please do seek help.

Good luck to all the au pair hosts in your hosting experiences. <3[/quote]
