Of course it is (AESTHETIC)...you never know where anyone's hands have been, so you don't think about it, but when you see something like that first hand it does gross some people out. If you went to the bathroom in a public restaurant and noticed your waitress or the chef didn't was her hands after she was in the bathroom, that wouldn't gross you out a bit! And yes half the things you touch have urine, snot, cum, saliva, shit and puke on them, but if you saw it first hand it would gross you out, so you just don't think about it or you'd never eat anything again.

yes, so far...but since mine hasn't arrived, I don't have any personal experience to share regarding having an aupair live with you.

With aupair care, they come to interview you at your home and make you submit 2 references before you can view the aupair bios. I'd have been pretty annoyed if I had wanted someone from a particular country ...at the time I was looking, they were mostly from Brazil (and a few other south american countries), Thailand, Germany and France.

At aupair care, they make you apply, send in 2 letters of reference and come to your home to interview you (I'm sure this is to make sure you are legitimately looking for an aupair etc, and you aren't some creepy sex offender) - but you have to go thru all this before you can even view the resumes of the available aupairs [ Reply | More

I wouldn't even care, I have older kids already in great school, but she is just so FAKE! She usually dresses sloppy and no makeup and hair unkempt, but when she picks her dc up at preschool, her nanny usually does it, she makes a point of wearing designer clothes and her engagement ring and carries her Chanel purse and wears her Chanel flats. It just really bugs me that she is cheating the system like. She acts like she is so entitled. My friend said that she wanted Anderson but got PS 9 G&T and is now pissed and wished she would have held her dc back in preschool for another year (she already released the spot though I guess). Petty venting on my part. I know I shouldnt be so involved, she isn;t even my friend, she is a friend's friend. Ok, I am done being bitchy now. 57 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

you know, I think it is extremly irresponsible for people to come here and use this board for public discussion of specific people in the community for whom they give enough details to identify them. i am going to flag this post, and ask the moderater to delete it, as I have doen with other similar posts. I will also ask that they investigate you, and ban you for abusing this board which does have some rules for playing here. i think people like you are crazy, and cannot stop yourselves from stepping over the line. You are a lawsuit waiting to happen. I have no idea who you are discussing, but i find this sort of thing to be such a breach and abuse of the internet, that I think you must be reported to the people managing this site. what you are doing is far worse than your acquaintance is doing. at least she has a good cause. you are a bitter, mean freak.

really, you have no idea how inappropriate you are. this board is fun, and it is interesting to discuss certain concepts and things people are doing. but using it for your own personal vendettas or to slander people is over the line. perhaps that is why you are so outraged at others' misbehavior. you are full of nastiness, agression and abusing this board for your own personal issues should not be tolerated.

really? because earlier you said "sorry,but I had to vent somewhere." I just don't understand why this would bother you so much that you had to post about it if you barely know this woman. I can't stand fake, entitled people either, but it seems particularly nasty to make such a personal attack on a board she probably reads (even if you altered all the facts). [ Reply | More

since it is 3rd hand info at best, I would assume the story has been distorted 3xs over. Why woyuld you get so outraged over this since you don't know the woman, or whether this is at all true? Happened to a good friend of mine who had someone tell a complete lie about her here. it was damaging and it identified her and her dc. I am sure the bitter jealous people telling the story and embellishing it along the way put it here to hurt her. reality is that the story was completely false. you have no idea if what you are reporting here is at all true. but you feel compelled to try to harm someone here. yikes. you need to take a closer look.
