[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She spent the last year taking care of her kids in exchange for room and board, a stipend, a cell phone, etc. per a contract.  She wasn't doing it out of the goodness of her heart and she is still a safe and warm place to sleep at night and not paying for it.  It doesn't matter if the family has "a good chunk of disposable income", that isn't the point.  The more you make the more you owe it to people to be generous when they are being flat out rude?  I don't think it's about the money...it's about the attitude.

Honestly, I have had stellar Au Pairs for whom I would likely continue to purchase special items in this situation for (but those stellar au pairs would have NEVER asked).  I've had a few mediocre ones who did the bare minimum....for those I honestly wouldn't have even offered to let them stay for the travel month (maybe for a few days past the end of the contract)....[/quote]
+1000 the entitlement by the AP is unbelievable.. OMG I wouldn't have thought to impose on my host family in my 20s. Shudder to think to about Gen Zs growing up[/quote]
