[quote=Anonymous][quote]I always pack a lunch and don't really care if the family has food for me or not. That being said, the bolded indicates a self-centered attitude that I try to avoid when choosing a family to work with. I put a lot of effort into caring for the children and families I work with, always trying to anticipate a need, being there when needed, etc. and I appreciate that effort to go both ways. If you can't be bothered to concern yourself with something so simple but kind, you are not someone I'd bust my hump for, hence I would not work with you.[/quote]

What an odd response. The one with the self-centered attitude is you, if you expect to be fed on the job. My job doesn't provide me with free lunch and snacks, and I put in as much effort as you do to do good work. And I don't try to emotionally manipulate my employers by invoking some sort of silly association of providing meals to some sort of simple kindness. If you want to be respected as professionals, leave that talk at the door.

Plain and simple, meals are a perk. A very generous perk. If they are important to you, negotiate it. Or, you know, do what everyone else does and pack a lunch.
