[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our new AP has been here for a less than a week and is asking for salmon as part of the grocery list.  She's a second year, so i'ts not like she is clueless about prices in the area (she lived elsewhere in the DMV).  She also asked for cilantro lime salad dressing and vitamin C tablets.  I will obviously talk to her about this to remind her how we agreed groceries work in our house (as detailed in our handbook)--but I do find this presumptuous. [/quote]

I'm a long time HM and you are the definition of miserly. You are nitpicking salad dressing and vitamin C?! Frozen salmon is not expensive at all. Hell if be thrilled if my AuPair was that healb conscious and wanted to keep her body from getting sick.

You're gross.[/quote]

You make a good point but some people will have a threshold. I got our current AP the healthy things she asked for (kale, brussel sprouts, chia seeds, a carton of egg whites, etc) but they have either languished in the cupboard or I had to throw them out when the went bad. She just eats all the leftovers instead even though she keeps on saying she is going to meal prep her lunches (she has more than enough time to do so). So when she asked for coconut water I said no, we are trying to be a bit more careful about our grocery budget. Now she has started to ask for highly processed items like pepperoni sticks. I get them as I know she will eat those.[/quote]

Is she also second year? My AP always says No when I ask her if she need anything. She asked for orange juice once and literally didn't touch it. So I have stopped asking.[/quote]
