[quote=Anonymous]I don't know, OP, I certainly don't think this is something to quit over.  You weren't offered anything you want in the fridge to begin with, you took something, and the parents wanted to make it clear that it was not part of your compensation.  As an MB who has many times let things go because I didn't want to make things awkward, it can be a slippery slope, and sometimes I really regret not being more immediate with feedback.

I can completely imagine a situation where the parents didn't say anything even though it bothered them, and then their nanny started eating snacks there every day instead of packing them, and then the parents still don't say anything, and eventually their nanny is eating all her meals there instead of bringing her own food.  Totally not saying this would have happened with you, but if it wasn't something the parents were comfortable providing (and I'm with them, honestly, it's hard enough to manage household grocery lists and dinner plans and packed lunch plans when you're working fulltime without having to account for what an additional adult might eat), then they probably thought better to nip it in the bud than silently resent.

Now you know.  I'd suggest moving on from this, assuming you're otherwise happy.[/quote]
