Jag hittade en grupp på facebook för ett tag sen. Jag kan helt ärligt säga att i alla fall 90% om inte mer av alla påståenden stämmer :P

"You know you're an Au Pair in the US when:"

- You always introduce yourself with : "Hi! My name is (your name), I'm from (country) and I have (amount of children you are taking care of) children!"
- Everybody is greeting you with a "Hi. How are you?" and you can't respond fast enough, so you say it first.
- The worst thing is, when the dad is working from home.
- You know what a S'MORE is.
- You spent all your money at the MALL and you still have nothing to wear.
- You hate Dora, The Wiggles and Thomas.
- You say "silly" instead of "stupid".
- You go to PLAYDATES.
- You've seen more movies in one month than you have in your whole life at home.
- You drive over 30 minutes to a friend and you don't think it's far.
- You only have other Au Pairs as your friends.
- You can make bacon.
- You say "like" and "totally" every three words.
- Someone has asked you stupid questions like: "Do you have cars in your country?"; "You don't have Valentine's day do you?"; "Where is your country?"
- You don't think it's wrong to have cake AND ice cream.
- You park as close to the store as possible so you don't have to walk even one yard too far.
- You cherish moments of silence more than ever before.
- You notice yourself saying "GOOD JOB" a hundred times a day.
- You wonder why you slept the whole night long so uncomfortably and then you notice the next morning that you slept on a barbie, a lollypop, a sandtoy etc.
- You need to be creative to find out new punishments because a time-out doesn't work anymore.
- You have to admit to mistakes you never did or put the blame on you day after day.
- You're sure you don't want own kids within the next 100 years.

- You take a nap, after you dropped of the kids at school after only being up for just 2 hours.
- You are DRIVING to the busstop to pick up your kids, which is only 200 meters from your house.
- The kids call you mum cause you spend too much time with them.
- You think $160 every weekend just for shopping and coffee is not that much.
- One cup of coffee doesn`t make you awake anymore, it just makes you alive.
