[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Au pairing is an experience, it’s not a real job. And it’s $6.25/hr but with room and board paid for. So you can’t compare it to someone making $6.25 and actually trying to live off that salary. Au pairs don’t live off their stipends; that just extra spending money in their pockets each week![/quote]

But if the family doesn't uphold the board portion of the deal, then there's an issue.[/quote]

But they are. The food is in the kitchen and available. The question is whether the sandwich had to be made for the au pair of if they can make their own.

This thread has been interesting and we have a lot of things with food we want to change for our next au pair, mostly around chipping in with prep or cleaning if you eat dinner with us. Otherwise you can come down later and make your own sandwich. It also drives me crazy when AP finishes the last of something “special” - take out leftovers, last piece of cake etc, but I think I need to let go of that one. [/quote]

You must have little kids.  Once they hit middle school/teens, they will take the last piece and not think about it.  Learn to hide it... most cake freezes well so slice and freeze it and hide it in the back of the freezer where they may not  look.[/quote]
