[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]08:04 here. I don't have au pair experience, so I was just commenting as I've definitely dealt with this issue! My thinking, which I leave to those of you with more au pair experience to take or discount, is that the stipend is because the mom is not trying to limit the au pair's food use. She is simply turning over the extra budgeted grocery money, for increased snack food now that au pair is here, so that the au pair can control it and have her own selection of snacks that others may enjoy, but, out of politeness, will not polish off. This makes it seem less like a budget issue and more like the politeness, living with a family issue, that it really is. [/quote]

Yes, but likely the AP is not going to eat LESS of other foods now that she has her own snack budget, so it amounts to giving the AP extra money, ESP considering that the Family didn't eat that much junk to start with.  Seems unfair, IMO.  Imagine if HF didn't buy junk at all before AP, and now AP is asking for HF to buy $20 a week of junk food, food they would not buy at all otherwise? [/quote]
