Nothing to eat while babysitting!
| Tue, 05-11-2004 - 11:49pm |
Ok, so I'll be babysitting from 8-4 Mon-Thu for 3 weeks. Today was my second day, and for this SBD, THEY HAVE NOTHING FOR ME!!! All they have is cheese, eggs, hotdogs, and honey ham. The rest is "4-year old food": fruit snacks, chips, mac 'n' cheese, frozen pizzas. I'll feel rude if I bring my own stuff, especially if I have to put it in their refrigerator because the parents come home to eat lunch. They asked me a few days ago if I'd like anything specific, but of course I was polite and said no thanks. What should I do???? Thanks a bunch!

Why not pack your lunch and snacks in a small, soft-sided cooler with an ice-pak? If someone questions you and you don't want to explain that you are dieting, just say that you just find it easier to bring your own foods. I don't believe they would think you were rude!
HTH,

I agree, either ask the mom to buy a few things for you (deli turkey, salads, etc) or just bring your lunch as you would if you were at work in an office.
