[quote=Anonymous]OP -- I completely sympathize with you.  We are on our second au pair.  Our first ate a completely reasonable amount of food, she ate healthy, and if she finished something she let me know.  Our current au pair EATS SO MUCH FOOD it's ridiculous.  I buy a loaf of bread and it's gone in a day (used to last almost a week).  I buy a gallon of milk and it's gone in a couple of days (used to last at least a week).  1/2 gallon of ice cream -- gone in a day or two.  She eats a tub of cream cheese in about 3 days.  It would last my family 10 or so days before she arrived.  Our au pair eats more than my husband and probably three or four times what I eat.  She's not overweight, but she's not skinny.   I've been buying more food when I shop on the weekends, but I still can't keep it stocked.  Plus, she basically eats whatever I buy so buying more isn't always the answer. So sometimes I hide food from her when I don't want to run out of things I need.  I also ask her to go to the store to pick up milk, bread, etc. since she's the one consuming them in mass amounts.  This is our last au pair so luckily we don't have to deal with this again.  You may all think the OP and I are terrible people, but having her in our house has literally doubled our grocery bills.  That's too much to ask from a host family, IMO.
