My mom use to do this thing where on Wednesdays we picked what we wanted for dinner (something from home, we didnt ever go out) so I started it today with my kids.
DC 1: picked blueberries and popcorn DC 2: picked pop tart and cucumbers DC 3: picked toast with Nutella and raisins with a side of goldfish Took 4 min to make dinner and everyone thought it was super fun. Thanks mom

That sounds super unhealthy and unprofessional to serve that to kids for dinner.

Obvious typo...nice try though bitch (I spelled that right, yeah?). It is super unhealthy, I don't think that can be debated. |

1. This was posted by a mother, not a nanny. She said she posted it in the wrong forum 2. I'm a nanny, I have done this, and MB and DB thought it was great to give their daughter the opportunity to plan her own meal. Even thought it was grapes and white bread... 3. You are no fun 4. 
PS. It is very counterproductive and unprofessional to be a nanny who can't even spell "nanny" -From a nanny |

I've done this as a nanny too!
Kids loved it. We also have done breakfast for dinner, all chocolate dinner (this was a MB idea - she had a bad day and the kids and I made chocolate pancakes with nutella syrup.) Movie dinners (kids always picked tomato soup with grilled cheese and we'd have a picnic in the living room and watch movies. Why not have fun or have an easy meal?! Why stress |

You sound like one of the bad, lazy, judgemental type of "babysitters". I wouldn't pay you a buck to watch my fish, never mind my children. |

How is it "unprofessional"? Her profession is not called into question here. It is unhealthy if they have that every single night, but one night won't hurt them. Maybe they will wake up a little hungry, but they'll survive. |

| I think it could be a great way to help kids learn healthy eating habits. I might suggest that they choose a protein, a veggie, a fruit, and something fun, but really what so had about the occasional blueberry and popcorn dinner?? |

Her profession is THEIR MOTHER so who cares! |

Sounds like a fun night mom. I will do something like this with my kids when they're old enough.
I bet you'll never accidentally stumble in the lions den of the nanny forum again!
