[quote=Anonymous]I don’t really understand the situation. If you have a sitter, I assume you are not eating with your kids, so it isn’t a ‘family dinner,’ right? Like you want her to come at 5 and feed the kids dinner while you finish up work and get ready to go out for dinner with your spouse?

In any case, if the sitter is there over dinner time, you should definitely provide some food. We always always do easy (and cheap) takeout for the kids when we will be gone -usually pizza, sometimes Puerto Rican chicken - something my kids will happily eat. I don’t want the sitter to have to try to get my kids to eat some new weird thing. Sometimes I will ask the sitter to cook something really easy - like frozen nuggets and steam in the bag green beans etc, but generally only with sitters we have used a bunch or times when I won’t be able to order food.  I will usually ask the sitter if they have favorite pizza toppings or want a salad on the side or whatever. I would not cook dinner while the sitter is there without offering her food!

If the cost of a slightly larger pizza is too much, you shouldn’t be going out![/quote]
