[quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately you are in this situation because presently you don’t “need” your AP because your nanny is still doing everything.  DH can put his head in the sand and make ridiculous rationalizations that waiting to see if she gets her NY license will somehow mean she is is a competent driver.  You can be annoyed and make this about AP not leaving the house.

You and DH didn’t do the heavy lifting in January that it takes to get an AP (even the best ones) up and running.  You didn’t have to because your wonderful nanny was there.  For most of us, there is no AP/nanny/sitter overlap so when AP arrives we have to dig into the training fast and hard in order to get back to work.  You should not be two months in with a non-driving clueless AP and without having reached out to your LCC.  Even if you talk to LCC today, you will have to schedule a time to meet, go through mediation, House AP for 2 weeks while she looks for new family.

Comparing an AP to an American summer babysitter makes no sense.  Apples and oranges.

You HAVE to do the tiring and challenging training up front and/or outsource the driving lessons.  You have to train and then rip off any bandaid (nanny).  AP arriving in Jan and nanny leaving in June was a bad call.  Nobody had to change.  And here you are.[/quote]
