[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's a good idea, OP. Even if you gave her a fair amount and she was able to buy the food she wanted, it really runs counter to the "host family" mentality. She is supposed to be living as a member of the family and as such, should partake of the family's groceries. It creates an awkward barrier to have her store HER food on HER shelf and feel like she can't help herself to that last string cheese in the fridge or whatever. It could really backfire on you, even though I think your intentions are good.[/quote] I agree with this. I had a similar arrangement as a live-in nanny and while I think the intention was to allow me to have things that I specifically liked and was free to purchase them, it made me feel awkward about using anything outside of what I purchased with the stipend.
