[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have our first German AP out our 6 total. Very kind and respectful- helps clean up. Lots of German friends hang out here - maybe not as warm as our SA APs but polite and courteous as guests. [b]To the OP - feeding friends and hosting their friends (and feeding them) is a small price to pay for a solid AP; and a happy one. I am not “in love” with our current AP but my kids are; so if I have to buy an extra steak now and again (or more) it is a small price to pay for consistent, quality care[/b].[/quote] This. Such a small price to pay to make the person that takes care of your kids happy. Just plan accordingly. Or have a take out one night if your plans got ruined. [/quote] The original example was not just one steak. It's more the AP and her friend polished off ALL of the meat from the fridge meant for another WHOLE meal. I'd be pissed too. We buy from Costco and portion out meat for recipes during the week. So 6lbs of ground beef might be 2lbs for chili, 2lbs for burgers, and 2 1lb portions for meat sauce = 4 meals worth. It's the equivalent if our AP took all 6lbs and ate it in 2 days without asking if I had plans to do something with it. [/quote]
