[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell her she is more than welcome to eat whatever you made but if she doesn't like it she can cook for herself. Buy her sack of potatoes and bunch of meat and she can make it for herself every day if she desires. I wouldn't cook special meal just for her. Would I steam green beans and carrots as well because someone doesn't eat green beens? Probably but not cooking what I and my kids like because of one person is nonsense.[/quote]

She absolutely will not cook. The food would go bad.

I think I'm just going to carry on our normal diet. Should I just tell her each night what we are eating so she has a chance to go to Wendy's?[/quote]

Seasoned hostmom here. German btw. Just continue with your diet and actually no, don‘t bother telling her what will be for dinner, since you already know she will pull a face if it‘s not potato and meat.

Picky au pairs who aren‘t able to cook need to be kept out of your kitchen. They will mess up your kitchen, take ages to do a simple dish and have no idea of quantity or meal planning.

Also, Germans are blunt, so you may be blunt, too. I‘d just tell her that her behaviour is impolite and you don‘t want her picky attitude spoiling your dinner and modelling to your children.

If you can spare the extra budget for Wendy‘s, I‘d say go for it. I would be glad for every single dinner without the German au pair food police making teenage comments on your obviously lovely varied and healthy family cuisine.

OP here. She is an unusual German. Any sort of correction or percieved criticism leads to tears. She cried week one when I told her no male overnight guests after she tried inviting her boyfriend to stay the week.  Should have cut bait then. [/quote]

Wow!  That sounds awful, especially in addition to the dietary issues.[/quote]
