[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny has been with us a year and is amazing and helpful and kind. She would overly extend herself to help us, so I am trying to make sure I don't put her in that position. When all three kids were home during last year, she did snacks and lunch every day. Now oldest is back in in person school. Can I ask her to make lunch for oldest for the next day while she is making the younger kids lunch?

It is just one more annoying task at the end of a long day of work and dinner and cleaning and baths and bedtime. If nanny does it, I don't have to. BUT, I want to make sure I am not asking her to do anything that others would think is outside the scope of her job.[/quote]

You are so lazy that you can't make eldest child's lunch every morning?  Good lord, get up 15 minutes earlier![/quote]

No. I can't. The baby still doesn't sleep through the night and the 3 year old is going through a nightmare stage (like literally having nightmares and waking up). I already wake up at 5:30 to do everything I need to before leaving for work. I am not waking up at 5:15 to make lunch. I do it the night before when I am putting away dinner and doing the dishes but would love to take that task off my plate. I am not complaining, but as I work 9 hours a day, commute 30 min each way, and am hands on from.the min I get up to bedtime and solo parent all weekend due to DH work schedule (he is 100% unavailable most weekends) taking small things off my plate is one way to stay sane.  Not sure how it is lazy.

Also not the question. Even if it is the single laziest thing one could do, my question was "does this sound like it falls in the scope of nanny duties"? Nanny makes homemade baby food. I could do it. It is in her job description and she enjoys doing it. Was asking if this was the same.[/quote]
