[quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone. I guess I should've mentioned that the impression I get is that they DO care, but don't really know any better and are too busy with work, the kids, managing the house, to sit down and research this stuff and then read all the labels at the store, etc. I'm on extremely good terms with them (I came highly recommended from good friends of theirs who I worked with for three years; those friends also were health nuts and I know are very close with my current MB/DB so I'm considering consulting them on the issue, too); they tell me every day how pleased they are with my work and they are always saying they hope I stay for several years. I honestly think they might appreciate it if I helped them so they can make better choices. I've heard MB say she wants to feed her kids right; she told me that her mom bought lucky charms for the kids and MB said "no that's too much sugar. " So I think they do care about their kids eating right, they just need some help and guidance. Maybe I can start there; just say "I don't want to over step my bounds, because how you raise your children is completely your decision of course. But if you're open to it, perhaps I could offer a little guidance on nutrition and ingredients, and I'm open to helping with grocery shopping and cooking more meals as well." Something like that? (For the record I haven't previously asked about helping with shopping, MB was just telling me about how hard it is to go shopping with the kids on an unrelated note. And thank you to the triplet nanny for the recommendation I will look into that! )[/quote]
