[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I do my intermittent fasting days I drink water and/or nibble on carrot sticks while my children eat (I am an MB). They don't seem to notice the difference.[/quote]

That's nice but it is also your choice, just as it is OP's nanny's choice to drink her protein shake once her charge is napping. I am sure you have a designated break at work to eat your lunch, but in no way would your boss dictate what you must consume, nor with whom. 
Most people who work full time enjoy eating their lunch in peace, why should this situation be any different?

OP has two opportunities a day to spend with her child creating "family meal time",  and she needs to work within those confines.  Is she going to ask her kid's teacher to eat with  him once he is in school? Will all guests consuming food in the home be required to do so at the family table together? Just how much do her child's eating issues get to dictate daily life?[/quote]

Actually, in many jobs there are team lunches, client lunches, etc, which means it is dictated when, with whom, and to some extent what (if you go to a certain restaurant) you eat! Another example of nannies thinking there job is in some super-special category without the requirements many working people face. [/quote]

Actually, no.  I worked in an office, and I made sure that I ate before "team lunches" so that my gastro-intestinal issues wouldn't be set off by restaurant cooking.  My boss had no issue with it, and I didn't eat with the rest, but had to sit there.[/quote]

Right, but you still had to participate in the team aspect, make meals a social occasion, just like OPs nanny needs to.[/quote]
