[quote=Anonymous][quote]OP, first of all, I'm sorry you are going through a rough time right now. Secondly, please ignore the entitled lazy nannies giving you ridiculous responses. Nannydeb was right on (and she's a nanny). You absolutely 100% do NOT have to make lunch in any way shape or form for the nanny. You have done more than some employers do just by making sure you have food she likes in your house and making it known she is welcome to help herself to anything. With that said, I understand your frustration but I'm not sure it will really be worth looking for another nanny simply because of this issue. Granted if she is like some of the nannies posting on here then that may not be your only issue. My advice is to try to talk to her about this (or ask your DH to) and try to wait until the cloud of the PPD is gone to re-evaluate. [/quote]

This is very reasonable advice, OP.

This forum is probably not the best place to seek advice if you're struggling with PPD. Actually, even if you're not, this is not necessarily the best place to seek advice. While there are many reasonable nannies here, unfortunately, they are often overrun by nasty nannies who don't read any posts and just use every thread to bash MBs over imagined slights. So, put that all in perspective if you can.

Free access to a NF's food and kitchen is a huge perk. You already go the extra mile by asking what she likes and stocking it. I don't get food at my job, and I'm not able to leave to buy lunch. If I don't bring my lunch, I don't eat. Nannies don't appreciate how good they have it. You don't have to prepare her lunch, or take her order when you go out, or anything else. You're already offering a great perk by open access and permission for her to go out for lunch whenever she wants. She is acting like a brat, unfortunately spoiled by your mother's visit.[/quote]
