[quote=Anonymous]we have a part time nanny for my 8 and 10 YOs.  the one negative thing her reference said was “I wish she would model better eating habits.  the fact that she is obese doesn’t get in the way of her ability to do her job/keep up with the kids, but I dont like what she eats in front of them.”. this was never a problem pre-covid since my kids were in school and didnt see her eat lunch (I sometimes would see the fast food wrappers in the garbage, but whatever).

however, now that she is with them during the day, my kids frequently complain that she takes them out to get bread at the local shop (they like the fresh baguettes) and gets herself pizza, chips and a soda.  They get legit dessert every day and pizza for dinner once a week, so it isnt like they never get this kind of food, but they would happily eat it as much as she does if I let them.

So far I havent said anything - I figure they are old enough to connect the diet to her size and understand why my choices for them are different... but should I?  I can understand their frustration at watching her eat that stuff all the time.[/quote]
