Another TV programme tonight about an au pair ....

[ThePrisoner]

It's Cutting Edge, on Channel 4 at 9.00pm, and is about one family's search for an au pair (one is is prepared to care for a child and the animals owned by the animal trainer mummy!!)

getting fed up with these programmes

I agree, too much reality stuff generally, but I still watch it because it vaguely connected with childcare (although I think tonight's programme is also very connected with animal poo!) From the write-up, it appears that the au pair is the more normal of the two women.

Anyone watching it? I've tuned in. Is the aupair from Zimbabwe, or was that just her mother?

For those of you who didn't see it, they followed the aupair on her mission to meet her father, who she traced and met during the filming. Liked it how the documentary stuck with following the aupair through what she did, rather than forget about her when she left her first employer.

So it was different from the last documentary on aupairs.

That woman she went to work for was 1st class B! What language in front of her young son, and he had a bit of an attitude and used inappropriate sayings for a child his age, but didn't know any better, was a sad little boy really.

The woman really took advantage of the girl, she was jolly ;lucky to find someone so willing and enjoying her work too.

I think last nights programme showed the Au-pair as a well balanced young lady, who was more mature then the woman who employed her!

I'm glad she found her dad, and hope she found a nice family to work for.
