[quote=Anonymous]I have a live-out nanny who I hired about 2 months ago. She is in my home from 9 to 5 (or sometimes 6:30). I fully expect her to eat lunch during this time, but I have never told her she could eat our food. Since we have hired her, we have been going through bread, eggs, pasta, and candy significantly faster. My DH doesn't think I should begrudge her some lunch on us because she's running around with the kids all day and told me if I wanted to tell her to stop eating I would have to be the one to do it. I wouldn't mind her having a slice of toast or something, but she's not a big girl. With all of this food gone I can only guess that she's basically eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner at my home.

I have three kids, but I know for a fact she isn't feeding all of this to the kids. In fact, when she makes them pizza and/or mazaroni I've seen her take about a third or what she prepares for herself.

How can I broach this topic with her without being totally awkward? I don't think I'm being that unreasonable. She has time to pack a lunch and snacks on her own dime. [/quote]
