Our new (English) aupair started at the end of August, early days I know. She is very bubbly and enthusiastic and tries hard to do what needs to be done. She has lived in our town before and has friends here whom she goes out with.
It all seems ideal BUT I'm finding it really, really hard to cope with the fact that she is is, well 'there' . She talks incessently and follows me round and is so 'in your face'.
I find it a particular prob in the evenings. After the last children have gone to bed I desperately need some space where I'm not having to talk to anyone and to have some time with dp. She waits for me to come downstairs and kind of pounces and follows me round talking, talking until I go to bed exhausted.
I know I might sound mean but it's really making me tired and I'm beginning to really resent her.
I actually feel more exhausted with her here than I did without her!!!
She has her own really decent sized bedroom, bathroom and loo. She also has her own sitting room. I don't expect her to spend all her evenings on her own but please, how can I
tactfully deal with this issue?
