[quote=Anonymous]You're accustomed to a certain courtesy from other families you babysit for. Your employers are not extending the same courtesy to you. I understand you'd prefer the same courtesy you receive from other families for evening babysitting, but I don't think it's something you can expect from your employers.

They made it clear to you upfront that you were to provide your own meals. I don't see why it would be different at night. If you're already planning for your lunch during the day couldn't you just pack food for dinner as well? I realize it's a bit of a pain to pack two meals, but the alternative is asking one parent to come home for 1/2 an hour between work and date night to allow you time to run out and get some food. You could also order in if packing a dinner is too much trouble.

I don't know that it's the "norm" to offer a babysitter dinner. Some families do, but others don't. Your employers may change their view once the infants get older and start eating table food. At that point you can ask if you can make extra for yourself of whatever you're making for the little one.   [/quote]
