Today finally realized a months long dream of mine.   I’ve bought the website:  FatUglyOldAuPairs.com

Giggle if you must, but ladies, I have a vision.   A vision we can all share and rejoice in.  Today I have taken the first step to educate today’s sitters as to proper etiquette, attire, and demeanor when watching our children.

I cannot take sole credit for this miraculous new website.  As with most strokes of genius it started with tragedy that was turned into something beautiful through the wit and wisdom of brilliant women – and a few glasses of wine.

It all started innocently enough when my friend shared pictures of the au pairs who were applying for the position she had posted with our wine – er, book – club.  To say that these women were beautiful would be doing them a disservice.  It was like looking through head shots of supermodels.  So here is rule #1 on the newly launched website:  tone it down, bitches!  For real.  because even if you find the most self-assured woman (which my friend just so happens to be) she undoubtedly has a gaggle of snarky friends who simply won’t allow Au Pair Barbie to move in with her family.  Truly, marriage is hard enough, we do not need the younger, hotter version of us moving in – the is not Sister Wives.

So aspiring au pairs please pick up some reading glasses, throw in some low lights, take off the makeup, and then send in your picture for consideration.

The next big lesson the website will feature is that your job is in fact a job.  Please don’t apply for the position because you are a free spirit and need to “keep your schedule loose.”  When you are late for your job then us working moms are guess what – bingo – late for our jobs!  If you take off a month to get married, please don’t call up a day before you are due back to work and ask if we really need you back so soon.  Because the answer is yes.  Perhaps you can cut and paste this last sentence onto a sheet of actual paper and tape it to your mirror so you see it every morning. So here’s rule #2:  punctuality and commitment are deal breakers.

On the flip side, we don’t need you to be the Nazi Nanny.  Now I appreciate a good boundary as much as the next girl.  But there is such a thing as being too strict.   If my kid has allergies and her nose is runny I don’t want you calling me every day to come take care of her and then tell me what medications I should be giving her and then insinuating a week from now when her nose is still runny (because it is allergy season) that I am somehow a bad mom for not over medicating my kid.

which brings us to rule #3: if any of us mothers want your advice we will most certainly ask for it but until that time comes – and it never might – just zip it.

I don’t want to overwhelm you but you get the idea.  I again have to thank my little seven pound eight ounce Baby Jesus with the golden curly hair and the blue tuxedo that none of these situations were ever anything I experienced.  Though unfortunately, each scenario is real and heart breaking to watch your friends endure.   it’s only by some miracle  that between my parents and the sitters I’ve been blessed with, I’ve never had one single complaint.  In fact I am thinking of recruiting my mom, Miss Barbara, Miss Heather, and Miss Janice to give some lessons I can post on the website.  Just not sure they’d be crazy about the idea of being the spoke people for a website called FatOldUglyAuPairs.com.  I will need to work on that.

If you like my blog you’ll love my book.  Buy The Working Mommy’s Manual on Amazon:   http://www.amazon.com/Working-Mommys-Manual-Nicole-Corning/dp/0615637418/ref=cm_sw_em_r_dp_6ZRcqb0QFT7P8_tt

    Along with everything which appears to be developing within this particular area, your opinions are actually quite radical. Even so, I beg your pardon, but I can not give credence to your whole strategy, all be it exhilarating none the less. It looks to us that your comments are not completely rationalized and in actuality you are generally your self not completely confident of the argument. In any case I did take pleasure in examining it.

It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
