My relation with the eldest sister is going worse and worse. This all make me sad. She is polemic about all my decision and time to time answers in such an aggressive way.
Last Friday her mum argued with me since I use all the time kids were watching TV for using IPAD and having chats and conversations with foreigners. I underlined the bad behaviour of her daughter and how I felt upset when her daughters and son eat in the living room and leave me alone as a slave in the kitchen. I do not know even if we exchange more than 20 words per day. When I try to begin a conversation, they just give me a short answer as they do not have any pleasure in talking with me.
Saturday and Sunday were a complete disaster. Both me and the mother were angry and I REALLY considered to go somewhere else.
I took a break and I enjoyed Kinsale with another Italian au pair. I do really wanted to rest and being far from this awful situation.
At the moment I have only one offer 1 hour from the main city, but I considered the following points:
-I will be far from the airport and city centre(in case I will want to attend some classes of Business or English).
-Nobody can assure me that this family will have less problems than my previous one, since each family has a different problem.
In this period I excluded all offers of job as not au pair because here rent is very high and I must be sure to afford it.
Yesterday I did not have so many difficulties. We were 4 hours at the park and anyway the daughter complained about the short time.
Anyway, I tried to avoid technology and use the working time for reading. Yesterday was a sunny day, such a blessing of the Lord if you consider that ai live in Ireland. You can bet that I have read more than 50 pages. It was a novel that I am not reading for university, so I took pleasure and I did not pay too much attention to details of the plot. In the evening I studied for English certification.
Since I am here I have read 1 book per week. It is a good beginning.
Despite all my complainings and difficulties, I can say that this month abroad has taught me a lot. I am dealing with my emotions and patience. When I feel really nervous I just go to the kitchen and I cook sweets. Better than shouting or swearing.
