[quote=Anonymous]Op, I also have told the manny to help himself to whatever he wants for lunch and snacks. He does. Sometimes he brings leftovers from home, and a few times he's bought food and left it in our fridge with a note saying he brought it to use in his lunches for the week and hopes we don't mind.

I guess if I were heating up soup there's no reason you can't just say "nanny I'm heating up tomato soup for my lunch, do you want some of that too?" but it sounds like what you're saying is that. You don't have the mental bandwidth for that. Am I understanding you correctly?

I don't think this is a fire able offense - plus I think the stress of finding someone new would outweigh just talking to this person. I'm really confrontational so I would say to her "nanny I overheard you talking about how I don't make your lunch each day. Firstly, if you need to bitch about me, and it's okay that you do since most people bitch about their bosses at some point at least wait until you're out of my home to do it. Secondly, I know my mom was making your lunch for you while she was visiting. It seems like you really enjoyed that she did that. She doesn't work, and she isn't dealing with PPD, but I do and I am. So I don't have it in me to make your lunch. I wish I did, but I just don't. That's why I bought you stuff to make all kinds of sandwiches. Can you tell me why you're not helping yourself to the food specifically bOught for you? Is the wrong brand, or...?"

Then see what her answer is to that question. That right there is the key. A five minute talk could potentially clear this all up and will take a lot less time than finding a new nanny.

I hope you feel better soon, OP. [/quote]
