[quote=Anonymous]In my jobs, I do the grocery shopping, and I make all the food for the kid(s). So I eat what the kid(s) eat. I buy it, I prep and cook, darn tooting I am going to eat with my charges. Of course, before the babies are eating "real food" I bring my food, since I tend to work for people who don't grocery shop much and order take out every night.

I have found that if I bring my own meals with kids 9 months+, they want to eat my food. And the options of either constantly saying "No, this is my food!", or of sharing and therefore paying for a charge to eat out of my pocket are both distasteful to me.

So I make a serve meals I would also want to eat. And my charges generally are happy to try something new when I am also eating it. Grilled cheese, red peppers and hummus, spicy roasted cauliflower, and honey mango? They love that stuff!

Of course, I also have good manners. I don't ever eat the last of anything, I ask before considering eating any "adult meal" leftovers and graciously accept "no" as the answer, plus I always leave the parents with "ready to eat" foods for the kid(s) on the weekends.
