Host Mom: *walking straight into my room* Ehreen? What are we eating for dinner tonight?
Me: Uhh I don't know? The last two times I started to make dinner your mother told me she had already done it, so...
Host Mom: So-- *wrinkles her nose, looks around my room* You need to open the windows. There's a smell in here. You have to open the windows more often. I don't know if it's your shoes, or-- you don't smell it?
Me: No?
Host Mom: Well it smells. Anyway, will you go buy some bread?
Me: Okay...
Host Mom: So we don't know what we're eating for dinner tonight. *walks away*

(What does buying bread have to do with childcare?)

I'm just gonna start doing this.

I didn't know you got a raise to be their maid, cook, AND au pair...

Can you complain about this to someone? Because I would. You're being paid to take care of their children. If cooking for the family and shopping for the family aren't part of the contract, tell 'em no.

WHAT A BITCH

Just remember - stealing bread makes it difficult to continue to provide childcare.

Seriously, talk to your agency/program manager/whatever to clarify the terms of the contract. Then, having proved you're completely in the right, ask them what should be done about a family who is not abiding by the terms of the contract. This needs to go up to the agency level, just like mmejavert says.
