She doesn't cook raw meat. Does she do everything else she's supposed to? If so, tell him to calm down.
If you insist that the nanny do something that she has already told you makes her uncomfortble, YOU WILL RUIN the relationship you have with her.

Personally, I would not bother making meatballs for the kids the night before. If you happen to have leftover meat from dinner, sure have the kids eat it for lunch the next day. But they'll also been just fine having rice & lentils for lunch instead. I would not inconvenience myself to make sure the kids were getting meat at every meal. Protein yes, meat no.
It's an inconvenience to do something for your kids--just because it's meal related.The true spelling of parent is really S-A-C-R-I-F-I-C-E....and yes, in all caps.
What are you babbling about? I cannot believe you brought back this old thread just to add total nonsense.

Kids raised in vegetarian households often have numerous health issues and growth problems.
These children are not being raised in a vegetarian household. But thanks for playing.

If that's the only problem you have with your nanny, then I think you should consider yourself lucky and just let her feed vegetarian meals to kids when they are with her. As long as they are healthy, it's even better for them. Most kids don't get enough veggies or legumes.

The years I was a vegetarian were the healthiest of my life. I wasn't sick for 4 years, not even a cold.
Also generations of vegetation Hindu families in the U.S. prove you incorrect. I know many, as I work for an Indian family.
Op you have an amazing family and your DH needs to back off. It bothers me when DH's use the nanny as a frustration target.

I know several big, healthy people raised as vegetarians. I'd like citations, please.
