Some people do get sick if they go hours without eating though, myself included. I get nauseous and get sick if I don't eat for a few hours. But there's such a RARE chance that there wouldn't be ANYTHING to eat in the house.

Right. Agreed. Of course, if you have such a condition where you need to eat so often, surely you plan for you own health and safety, right?

What's your point, 16:44? Nanny isn't "allowed" to eat your food?

The point is that the OP is an idiot and this is a hilarious thread.

It's not that the nanny isn't allowed to eat the food. Of course, if the circumstances so happened that she needs to grab something, she can. It's that she shouldn't expect that the family is planning for her meals, and shouldn't count on the food of her choice being available.

As an example, I had no issues with my nanny helping herself to snacks or fruit or whatever was on hand. But I would have been flabbergasted if she said to me as I was leaving for the day, so, what is there for my lunch today? She's an adult, and unless prior arrangements have been made, I expect her to arrange for her own meals.

You are required to have some food available for your FT domestic worker. No one cares if it's your silly "food of choice", so you may stop your foolishness.

Why isn't her option to bring her lunch? Show us, please where that is not a legal option?

Of course it's an option! She can bring anything she wants, except maybe her kitchen sink. Happy?

OP is a troll. If you google her term, here is what you get.

This definition of domestic worker has absolutely nothing to do with live out, legal nannies.

Having something to eat during the course of a very long workday is IS indeed a basic human right. I hope you are not forbidding your own domestic workers from eating your food (if need be) in your own house. Do you believe you are allowed to deny food to your FT domestic worker?

She never asked. If she would ask, she'd be welcome to whatever she can find. She brings her own lunch generally, and I don't shop with her in mind. We don't cook at home much.

You "should" is different from "you are required." You seem to write this with much passion so I am wondering if you have any other grounds to say "you are required", other than your belief, that is. "You are required" is generally something enforceable.

If you are not guilty of this human rights violation, you need not be so defensive of those who are guilty of starving their child's nanny while working long days.

I don't need to be personally implicated to see that your argument is empty. No one starves anyone. Stop being so dramatic. How exactly would you even do that? Lock up the phone and say don't call Domino's, ever?

You still haven't explained the "you are required" bit. Required by what?

[Anonymous]

Illegal to starve your confined FT domestic work. If she can go out for lunch break that's great.
