It would have been nice if something had worked right away... but for me, it's normal that it only works on the second try...
I've been with the family for a little over a week now and things have turned sour. I really thought this family was the right one for me, but unfortunately, I was wrong. The father is really nice and the kids are really cute and they already like me a lot. It's just the mother who is acting out. She yells at me, her children, and her husband and throws things at me, saying things like, 'I've never seen such a terrible au pair like you!' I really tried my best and made an effort to do everything right, but she didn't see that. She just kept nagging at me and believed that I was too slow and doing everything wrong. On top of that, I had to play their maid, which is not part of my duties. But they think it's more important than taking care of the children.
So yesterday evening, I talked to my host dad and he did ask if I wanted to give it another try, because he really likes me, but he also understood when I said that I don't want to, because it would not be good for me.
Today, I talked to my contact person and she said that usually you can't go on rematch so quickly to find a new family, but she's making an exception for me because I'm really not doing well and I really don't want to stay in this family anymore, because I'm already afraid of the mother.
Now I have to stay with the family for another two weeks and find a new one during that time. If I can't do that, I have to go home...
Let's hope everything goes smoothly and I find a new family. But it should work out, because for me, things usually go well on the second try :)
Right now, I'm in a shopping center to relax and digest everything :)
