[quote=Anonymous]There's a big difference between consistency with pacifiers/diapers and McDonalds/TV. Its legitimate to be concerned about inconsistency with pacifiers and diapers as inconsistency will only prolong the difficulty in transition. McDonalds and TV is a different situations. Kids that enjoy these things are old enough to know that there are limits. The parents are under no obligation to "reserve" these for the nanny.

We allow the kids to watch 1 hour of TV a day on the weekends but have a no TV during the week rule. If we did allow it during the week for 30 minutes or whatever, I wouldn't feel to compelled to make sure it occurred during the time they are with the nanny. We also have a no fast food rule and see no benefit in the nanny taking the kids out to McDonalds. We do allow it if we are on vacation, at an airport or at a museum that doesn't have healthier options.

Nannies seem to forget that they are employees who are expected to do a job. Your entertainment and ability to get more downtime on the job isn't something that you should be advocating for or expecting your employers to prioritize. [/quote]
