[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a ridiculous thread.

I am a Jewish MB and keep a kosher home. My nanny has worked for many kosher-keeping families and has no problems putting the dairy forks in the dairy drawer and the meat forks in the meat drawer. If she doesnt know where to  put something, she leaves it on the counter.

She doesnt mix meat and dairy for the kids food, same way she would avoid certain foods if we had allergies. Its really not that big a deal and requires neither special training nor extra pay.

Any nanny who is purposely putting forks in the wrong drawer is lazy and disrespectful and that has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with a poor work ethic. [/quote]

If you put a meat fork and dairy spoon on the same counter what happens?[/quote]
Anyone?[/quote]

Seriously? This thread is getting out of hand. It's really obnoxious to make fun of anyone's religious beliefs and customs. If anyone made light of a nanny's Christmas traditions what do you think the reaction would be here? Nothing happens if a meat fork and a diary fork are on the same counter. [/quote]

Honestly I was just curious, I wrote nothing but a simple question, you took it offensively. I am curious because if the separation is so strict as to require separate dishwasher, sinks, plates, drawers etc.... how can you put a spoon with milk on it and a fork with bits of meat on the same counter... the counter would need to be destroyed. It just doesn't make sense.[/quote]

I apologize that I took your question the wrong way and I'm sorry for my response towards you. I don't actually keep kosher and don't fully understand the rules themselves. I admit it doesn't always make sense to me either BUT if those are someone's religious beliefs I don't think it's up to anyone to ridicule or judge them for it.  The OP here was just asking an honest question but what really started to offend me was the defense of someone (not OP) who couldn't be bothered to respect an employers religious beliefs. I honestly don't think it is extra work to put the silverware in it's proper place that it warrants extra pay but if someone thinks they deserve it fine. But please don't say it's ok to just ignore their beliefs and wishes. That is just SO offensive and that's what is bothering me about this thread. PP I'm sorry if my frustration was misdirected at you for asking an honest question. [/quote]
