[quote=Anonymous]I was hired 18 months ago.   The conversation came up of other nannies she interviewed, and she mentioned I was one of the few who wasn't overweight.  She jokingly self proclaimed her and DB as "fatist" and said they wanted someone who would model good eating habits for NKs.  First of all, I don't eat that healthily.  She just assumes because I'm thinner.  Secondly, isn't that discrimination?  What happens if I gain weight, am I gone?  Did I only get hired based on my physical appearance?  Not my own merits?  The whole conversation rubbed me the wrong way, like I'm not going to be bothered by her and DB making jokes about overweight people.  Neither of them are obsessed with looks, but both seem to have body issues (I'm pretty sure DB has an eating disorder and MB started obsessively trying to the baby weight a week after her C-Section).  I'm concerned of what this attitude will do to the kids.  DB brought up LO's weight to the doctor when she was six-months-old and once when I came back to work from a stomach virus she awed over how skinny I looked.  I love this family, except for the body comments.[/quote]
