#aupair problems

We got a big barbecue today with 9 grown-ups and 10 children. Great fun but a lot of work. When the kids are with their friends, they want to act cool and don't listen to you anymore.. Quite a lot more of work then.

Fuck this moment of the day was finding out my car was towed. This is after dealing with my little belt 11yos attitude over which snack Id brought

Last night hm wanted to chat. Tbh it feel like I haven't really seen her much lately. I've been out during the days and she hasn't been coming to the school at all or with the kids much either. I however do not feel just saying "what else" repeatedly is going to get her the best result.

Ok time to start documenting these crazy pants moments. My situation is that I only get one night and one day off in a week. So when it’s gets around to Thursday I asked for Friday night off so I could hang with the other au pairs. No problem at all for hm was going to be staying at one of the girls apartments. No worries she says just make sure your home sat night me and my husband are going out. Then to try be even nice she says you don’t even need to be home until 7 the house keeper will be there with the kids. Friday night goes all to plan. Which is awesome for note he first night I’ve gonna out since being here which is almost 5 months. I even made sure to be back at the house for 5 so I could have some time to myself and shower etc. when I walk in the door hoping to just sneak up to my room. I’m met withy the entire family with grandma sitting at the table arguing about D’s library books. To pass his grade he needs to complete required reading and tests. They all turn to me and start demanding why he has not completed testing. To which I have never been informed about. So I avoid the conversation and sneak up to my room. it gets to 6:45 and my phone rings it’s hm from downstairs. She asks me to come down. I oblige thinking she’s about to leave and wants to tell me something. Turns out when I get downstairs that she is no longer going out and that if I hadn’t already been home I could have stayed out. Was then informed of all the drama for the day involving the library books etc. Which is somehow my fault? Feeling confused and manipulated by people who you works over 35 hours a week for with very little compensation.

Trying to encourage my host child to eat his vegetables whilst trying to hide the fact I don't like what the cook has made either for dinner.

Went to sleep early and woke up in the middle of then night. Spoke to family and friends on Skype which is a bonus but now I miss home. Not sure how to bring it up to my host parents I've changed my mid about extending. I'll think of something.
