[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow I'm glad I don't work for you people!!!  I work 60-65 hrs a week and eat all my meals at work...  With MB's blessings!!!  I've been here 7yrs, and it's working out fine.

I cannot believe you people begrudge food to the person caring for your child![/quote]

I don't begrudge food to the person who cares for my child, I just expect her to provide it for herself, like any other professional does while on the job.  I once tried to provide food for a nanny and regretted it, for a number of reasons.  Our current nanny takes DD to the market via stroller, decides what she feels like eating for the week, pays for it out of her earnings like everyone else, and keeps it stocked at my house.  It works much better than me trying to anticipate what she wants to eat and throwing out food when I get it wrong, or coming home to find that the dinner ingredients or my favorite snack has been depleted.

I would feel differently if the nanny was cooking for the adults in the household, but she doesn't.  She cooks only kid meals, which is not the kind of stuff most adults want to eat on a regular basis.[/quote]
