| Milk and other kid staples - yes. Meals - no. |

| No. They're supposed to have parents for that. |

Heck to the no.
That is the parent’s job. |

| I always make sure there is milk and other staples for the weekend. I market with my charge on Mondays and Thursdays but don’t plan her dinners on the weekend. |

| We are not responsible for that but since we take care of these things during the week it only makes sense to warn the parents if they're going to run out of something |

| I am responsible for 100% of my charges’ food. The only thing parents do on weekends is like cut up a carrot or something. |

| Milk, yes. But not any weekend meal planning. |

+1 I'm assuming your charges have parents and those parents have eyes to look. |

| I don’t shop for groceries, but I do warn MB and DB when they’re short on something. If I did the grocery shopping it would just be easy for me to make sure there’s enough for the weekend, but since I don’t it’s not my problem |

| Personally, no, but I certainly don’t think there is a right or wrong answer to this scenario. |

I batch make purees or freeze extra food I cook for the kids. Once they were in school, I did 1 of the 2 grocery shops for perishables a week. The MB did the weekend, larger one. |
