[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just be very specific: the kids think this is burnt, the kids feel this is too spicy, etc, and see whether she adjusts. [/quote]

OP should phrase it as "We only like to eat pancakes that don't get more than golden brown." and "The kids prefer their chicken nuggets warm all the way through - I've found it takes 8 minutes on each side at 425." "We prefer our vegetables to be roasted for about 25 minutes and seasoned with half a tablespoon of [spice] and [spice]."

It's "Let me show you how to do a good job for OUR family.  If the nanny doesn't change after the OP says this, then the OP needs to move to "You know what? James and I were talking, and we'd like you to focus on reading and playing with the kids, rather than cooking. So please let the cooking go - we'll handle that from now on. Thank you." [/quote]

Are you serious? You would speak to another adult this way? How are some of you actual socially functioning human beings?
OP, just tell the nanny you prefer to cook, or take this as a great opportunity for your kids to learn that we don't always get things exactly like we want...I suspect "too burnt for your kids" is actually just fine and you are ALL a bit more than picky. [/quote]
