[quote=Anonymous]With my first au pair, I was constantly stressed out about cooking for her, as well.  Because I'd typically make a 'kid' meal for the baby&toddler and something quick for myself (sandwich) after a long day at work, but I always felt like I needed to make a 'real' sit-down meal so she could have something more dinner-like.  (That I couldn't just make her a sandwich and call it dinner.)  I hated having an au pair for this reason.  Starting with my second au pair, I made it clear in the interviews that she would be cooking dinner much of the time for the kids and herself.  We'd sometimes have family meals, but certainly not every night.  And I started encouraging the au pair to add to my grocery list so she could make whatever she wanted for herself.  This made things much less stressful for me.  Now, my kids are older and I leave instructions for her to cook alongside my tween and for them to eat together.  And sometimes even give the tween the 'chore' of making dinner and ask the au pair to oversee/help her so the family meal is ready when I come home...[/quote]
