Yikes, OP, she is totally taking advantage of you and you need a new nanny. You should also rethink automatically providing your nanny with all her meals. This isn't common. Most nannies bring their own food and help themselves to snacks (or, on occasion, simple sandwich fixings) if the NF wants to provide that perk. Giving a nanny free reign of your food every day can significantly increase your food budget because you are feeding another adult all day! Why would you do that? Next time, when interviewing, let your nanny know you expect her to bring her own food, like most of American workers do.[/quote]
NEWS FLASH:
Most American workers have the option to go out during their one hour lunch time. They aren't tethered to their desk for 10-12 hours a day, or are you?[/quote]

Irrelevant. Having the option to go out (which is not automatic for American workers) does not translate into free food on demand all paid for by the employers. Different things.

Also, there are many of us tethered to our desks or workplaces for our entire 10-12hr work day. Many of us don't have an hour to go out to lunch. More of us don't have the money to eat out every day and bring a sandwich or leftovers to eat at our desks. We are as busy, or busier, than you are. And no one, and I mean no one, is getting free food all day from our employers or, even more obnoxiously, expect our employers to stock specific food we want to eat.

You nannies are ridiculous. Bring your own lunch like everybody else.[/quote]
