[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Live-in nanny here.  If kids don't go down for nap until 2.30, they are getting up late (9am or later), so shift your eating patterns so that you eat a decent breakfast at 7.30, light lunch at 2.30, then dinner when you're off.  It sounds like the kids are infants and toddlers, and that's what I do until kids are old enough to eat the same things I eat.  Once they are capable of eating everything I eat (sometime between 1 and 2.5, as some parents prefer to have kids slowly introduced to spices and "exotic" foods), I eat while kids are eating.  I eat one bite in between each bite for the child/helping the child.  It teaches the child patience, lets me model proper table behavior and manners, and the child learns to enjoy healthy food.

If your employer is requiring that you work for [b]over 6 hours without eating[/b], you need to sit down and talk immediately.  I'm hypoglycemic, so waiting that long could cause major issues for me, but it can screw with anyone's system.[/quote]

PP I get that you are "hypoglycemic" (not a real medical condition, its a medical occurrence) but most people should be more than capable of lasting 6 hours without food...do you wake up in the middle of the night to snack?[/quote]
