[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a slippery slope. We have neighbors who see our AP as built in babysitter for their kids. Car pool here and there, babysitting requests follow, then playdates where they vanish for hours and expect your AP to watch all the kids. Just say no at the beginning and make it clear to AP about the expectations.[/quote] Yes, we had this situation. Generosity lead to abuse. We had to tell the mom if she wanted help she would need to pay our AP a minimum of $10/hr.[/quote] I am firmly in camp pro-playdate here, but I would nip this in the bud. Neighbor mom shouldn't communicate with au pair if she's this tye, everything should go through HF and playdates should be invited by AP or HF, not requested by someone else. I had a neighbor who used to text our nanny asking if she would *come to her house to watch her kids.* i put an end to that, then she tried it with our AP, once i got one, and i put an end to it again.
