[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Organic food and Trader Joe's foods are a lot more expensive than the typical grocery store. Most nannies do not make a ton of money so shopping for organic food may not even be an option. If your boss wants you to eat organic/healthy meals from now on, then she needs to purchase the food since it is in her budget to do so. #Shesoundsalittlelooneytome[/quote] Are you kidding? Trader Joe's can be pretty cheap. I actually shopped there when I lived nearby because their food was just as cheap as going to another regular chain store (like Lucky). I stopped doing all my shopping there once I moved further away, but I still take the bus there every 2-3 weeks to stock up on healthy snack items and I buy a loaf of bread while there too. Cheapest bread in the world. I was under the impression that it was a pretty expensive place to shop before I had ever actually done so, but it is nowhere near the prices of shopping at a place like Whole Foods. To the OP, I generally agree that no other person should be telling an adult what they can and cannot eat. In this case though - you eating in HER home while around her kids, that ARE old enough to know what you are eating and no longer take naps where you can eat with them not seeing you, that if she asks you to stop, you should. If you don't want to stop, be prepared to be fired when they decide to hire someone that WILL make healthier eating choices around their children. I understand you like your choices, but you can also make these choices while you eat at YOUR home and make some healthier ones while at work at THEIR home. If you can't make a compromise like this, then you need to find another position, but keep in mind that most families will want someone that chooses healthy eating options around their kids.[/quote]
