[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One time I got in trouble for wearing shorts (they weren't at all revealing) and had to wear leggings to work the whole summer. Same lady told me not to bring lunch and I could eat whatever I liked from the kitchen. I didn't eat much and mostly still brought my lunch well one day I guess she had a bad day and i occasionally had a peanut butter sandwich, until she said 'do NOT eat the organic peanut butter that is for my CHILDREN NOT YOU. It is too expensive to keep buying it'
Anyway I quit haha[/quote]

Come on now, that is a duh. Why would you think the organic stuff is for you. Chips and crap like that you may help yourself too (as long as it's a small serving) but not their good things.

Was that really the first time you had ever been offered food at someones home??[/quote]

You're reaching. PP clearly said she was told not to bring lunch. Any reasonable person would assume that freed up peanut butter sandwiches for consumption; we aren't talking steaks or $9 frozen meals here.[/quote]

Sounds like you haven't bought a jar of organic peanut butter and a loaf of organic bread before.[/quote]

I buy almost exclusively organic ($$$$$) but that's beside the point.

If you invite someone to eat from your kitchen - EAT, not snack - and you stock organic bread and peanut butter as a matter of course, that's what you've invited them to eat. I don't invite someone over for dinner and then tell them to stick to the veggies, don't they know these steaks were expensive? That's insane. I invited them to eat what I have, it's not their fault what I have happens to be expensive. It's not like this nanny pushed some Wonderbread aside and sliced into the fresh bakery loaf or something.

She was invited to eat. She ate the most basic of essential foods. If the family decides to buy expensive essential items (as I do) then they must expect those will get eaten. What if she was reprimanded for eating an organic apple? Those are expensive. Or how about some sliced organic pineapple? That's even MORE expensive. But they're basic fruit sides, right?

I really think you're reaching. Unless the nanny went into the "special" pantry or the outdoor freezer or something odd, she's been told to make lunch there. So, she should be able to make lunch. Honestly I'd rather you eat my PB than make a turkey sandwich - that stuff is $9 for eight slices!! - but either way, it's on me because I invited you to eat and same goes for families who invite their nannies to make lunch at work.[/quote]

Well when I offer guests to eat, excluding me having just cooked a meal of course, I mean a small snack like some oreos or something, not make yourself a prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich on my artisan bread![/quote]Winner of this year's honorary Pearl Mesta hostess with the mostest reward ;)[/quote]
