[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi! 
If I have a sitter for an evening, do I feed them dinner? 
Does it need to be our family dinner, so I offer to buy them takeout, do in I get takeout for the whole family? 
Is it ok to make them feed the kids if I'm present and doing work in another room? 
This is a big issue that stops me from getting a sitter for evenings when I could really use one, because if I cook something nice that a stranger will like, or order takeout, it takes me more work than it's worth or a lot more money.

And if I have to sit with the sitter while the kids eat their dinner, then what's the point exactly? If that eats up 1.5 of "my" 4 hours of free time? [/quote]

So you would have the sitter feed the kids dinner but not feed her?  Yes, you offer dinner to her.  I would imagine that someone as cheap and ill-mannered as you had great difficulty bin getting anyone to baby sit for you.  I always asked the sitter what she wanted for dinner.  Generally, she was happy to have pizza with the kids but if she wanted something else, I got that for her.  I also told her there was ice cream and she could help herself.  I also have her a good tip.  I never had a problem getting a sitter.[/quote]
