[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You tell her to put on the shopping list what she needs. Can we please grow up a little?[/quote]

I did this with my current nanny and she went overboard with her list.  There should be limits. [/quote]
You need to limit her grocery list, but you leave your kid with her?? Are you nuts??[/quote]

This is actually quite common. Most families don't allow almost everything the nanny wants to be bought. There are things like the basics above that are provided, and then anything else that the family buys on a regular basis already. If there is something else the nanny usually likes, then I have always worked it out with the MB and decide what will get bought (like I prefer a different brand of yogurt, or I like my vitamin water etc). But they will not go and buy me just anything I want, if I want cookies or an expensive vegetable, ice cream that they don't have, a $5 pack of tortelloni, then I buy that stuff myself. I wouldn't expect them to buy a $7 can of mixed nuts just for me to eat, but they might buy that if others in the household like it as well and we all share it.[/quote]
