[quote=Anonymous]Op. To clarify, we have 2 toddlers and a baby on the way. Do I want the AP to make meals for the toddlers? Sure. But I honestly don't expect much more than grilled cheese sandwiches, scrambled eggs, or microwavable stuff. I actually would rather not have them do more because it means AP is cooking and not paying as much attention to the kids. We don't have an open concept floor plan or a huge kitchen. One adult and two kids makes the kitchen crowded. Being in the kitchen means you can hear, but can't see what the kids are up to.

As a PP mentioned, I'd prefer to avoid the APs that think cooking and baking is a hobby. If AP is doing something in the kitchen, it means I can't make lunch or dinner. Somehow I think that an AP that 1) realizes they're in the way and chooses off-hours when the kitchen is free and 2) completely cleans up after themselves is rare. Also, mentioned: diet. DH tries to avoid wheat. I try to avoid sugar that isn't something healthy like a piece of fruit. I'd prefer the kids not to eat all the baked goods the AP makes because they're sugary and available. Then, we get to waste...[/quote]
