[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find this thread hard to believe, OP. But to answer your questions, yes, you are overreacting and no, it was not wrong of them to do.

Lunch is a perk they don't want to offer a nanny. You can judge them for it, but you took the job knowing that. Further, you made yourself lunch without asking them first it would be ok if you broke the policy. Apparently, the DB has a thing about the soda, particularly. I have to admit that if I had forgotten my lunch, I'd likely have done with the snacks and water available, or made a sandwich if I had to, but I wouldn't have taken a soda. I would also have told my MB or DB immediately when they came home. I wouldn't let them discover it. It makes it look like sneaking their food is a common thing.

Maybe you can ask them if you can have a little shelf space where you can keep an emergency lunch in case you forget again.[/quote]

I agree with this.  While I think his reaction was over the top, they did specifically show you a cabinet that you could help yourself which means the rest is off limits.  So instead of eating something from that cabinet, you went ahead and made a sandwich and drank a soda.  Then didn't tell them so it looked like you were trying to hide it from them.  That's not ok either.
