[quote=Anonymous]Ok, I apologize - when I read it, I was assuming she meant like Columbus Day and Veteran's Day since she was saying she used it as a time to relax and take care of things. I was assuming she didn't mean Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year's Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July - the big ones where the PP wouldn't be relaxing anyway and probably has family plans. Yes, I agree with you that if you are literally having your au pair work her regular 9-hour schedule every single holiday, then that's too much given the spirit of the program. And I did post earlier that I don't think the OP should be "squeezing every hour possible" out of her au pair either (which was an entirely different post). But I wholeheartedly disagree that you can't use your au pair so you can have your me time or that you should give her off at the expense of your own mental sanity. Being a martyr about spending every minute with your kids is not pretty.[/quote]
