[quote=Anonymous]I'm the 21.55 poster w/ a nanny (my only post). Just to clarify, I don't have any issue w/ using an au pair for 45 hours or their pay. Our nanny works for 50 hours a week so I get what it takes to have a career and a family. I also think there is a lot of value for both families and au pairs with the program, and it fills an important child care need. What I was reacting to was the part of your message where you said you were bothered by the four days off for Thanksgiving (I can't remember the exact phrasing). As a working mother you have 1,000 things you need to worry about, and expending energy on whether you should use your AP when you don't really need her because she wasn't flexible in the past is just not something I would trouble myself with. I can get spun up on issues like that so I frequently have to remind myself that if it is not going to impact anything in 5 years to just let it go.[/quote]
