OP here. I'm in rematch and let me tell you it is HELL having to be in the house with this girl 24×7 right now. I'd rather Corona than this right now. Yesterday while working from home I had to literally throw her out of my bedroom. She just walked in and started yammering about nothing. It's bizarre. Were in rematch and she is unphased.


However if anyone wants a "homebody" AuPair who would like to be your child and then some, she is available immediately. She has her Virginia drivers license. She'd prefer a living arrangement with a bedroom next to yours. If you hate your spouse she will be a great barrier to any sort of emotional intimacy that can be had outside the bedroom. Bonus points if you can take her on date night with you. Oh and dont forget to lock your bedroom door, this newfound child of yours will barge right in unannounced. Just keep a bathrobe handy

I cannot think of a single family member I would want to spend ALL of my non-working time with. Part of being in the AP program is being a good roommate. That means being present often enough that we get to know you and absent often enough that you don’t dramatically alter the dynamic of our family dynamic. Join us for dinner and special outings and vacations? The more the merrier! Camp out in the common areas of the house expecting us to fulfill 100% of your need for friendship and human connection? Too much.

I’m sorry for you. I take remember spending every minute of every single childhood summer with my grandmother, great-grandmother and two siblings. As an adult, I take a couple months to do the same thing whenever I can. My great-grandmother passed three years ago, but my grandmother and I still have fun. Every few years, my sister and I coordinate so we’re both with her at the same time.

Some people are comfortable with family and genuinely enjoy being with family, even for long hours. I’m sorry you don’t. Obviously, you need to search for APs that value family time the way you do, not someone like OP’s AP (or me).

Dont forget following me around the house and attempting to come out on date night with DH and I.

This girl needs more than to be part of a family, she puts more physical demands on me than my children. She's very unstable. I'm not trying to be a mom to a 3rd high needs/special needs child. This is not what the program is.

You all were correct. We have initiated rematch. More than just being a stage 5 clinger she takes constant management and has recently exercised very poor judgement.

We are leaving the program and could not be happier. We are so relieved. Our LCCs response was "I'm surprised you lasted this long, I will not be recommending her to another family."

Are you get a refund?
