We “asked” au pair if brother in law could have her room while
He was visiting and she was away on a vacation week. I would have been visibly annoyed if she said anything other than “of course”. I haven’t asked when she is there. Don’t know. I’d probably shift my kids rooms so they share.

Almost hesitant to ask if your Au Pair is going to be expected to look after your sister's kid.

Am I the only that thinks 1 - 2 week visit is a long time. And OP how come you don't know the specific length of your sister's visit?


I hadn’t even thought of that... 1-2 week play date? Yeah, no...

I can put the little cousin(s) in the same room as my daughter -- they all go to sleep around the same time. I leave my excellent au pair alone her own room. We are all very sensitive to quiet in evenings and mornings. This is even discussed with the visiting cousins.

When my au pair's family comes to visit they need to stay in her room with her and i have a 1-week max limit. All rules regarding quiet apply. I have a 1200 sq ft ranch house and all noise can be heard. I do have white noise machines in each room.


I assume you are the single HM otherwise where does DH sleep?



I am single and my boyfriend(s) sleep with me on the sofa in the living room or he(they) stay in their own home when i have visitors who present space problems.

OP has a guest room. She can put the other kids in her kids rooms on air mattresses and give the adults her room or put them all in her room and she take the guest room.
