Upset with my nanny friend feeding her kids crap!

IMO feeding a child as young as two that kind of junk EVERY DAY equates to minor abuse.

The mother has a right to know exactly what her child is eating. If the nanny is lying she must be pulled up straight away.

If she is neglecting him by feeding him junk every day because she can't be bothered, I dread to think what other things she can't be bothered with as well.

If the nanny is lying to them then I would tell them.

If the mother isn't bothered to ask what her kid has eaten (which would be one of the first questions I would be asking)then she probably aint bothered if he is eating this alll day every day.

That is so out of order, i personally would info my boss to chat to her boss or speak to her boss myself.

HenrietteHippo, It is obvious NannyNicks family are happy for the children to visit BK twice a yr, each to there own, so there is no reason to be outraged.

How do you know she is doing it every day?

I thnk you should keep out of it tbh, surely a parent would ask what their kiddies had for lunch? Your friend wouldnt directly lie would she, do the parents leave food out or keep a well stocked fridge/larder?

She would be out on her ear, if she were nannying for me. A cone of chips or pasty every day is unacceptable.
Does her employer not ask her to account for the spending of petty cash? Or does she pay for the saturated fats out of her own pocket?
She does your profession a disservice.

I would tell the mum. I'd be absolutely livid if I found out my nanny was doing that.
It isn't difficult to make a sandwich or something is it? what a lazy girl.

Surely the parents must notice what's in the fridge and what has been eaten. Or what's on the dishes in the dishwasher. I can't imagine how the parents can be totally oblivious.

Does the bakery she goes to sell sandwiches? She's being incredibly lazy.

If I was the mother I would want to know. A pasty or a cone of chips is a rubbish lunch to be eating every day. i would never feed my children like that (once a month, yes, every day, no).
The mother obviously assumes her child is being well fed, when hes not. Tell your friend's employer if she doesn't stop.

I think it's totally out of order. If I were the employer, I'd be more than annoyed, I'd totally lose trust with this nanny, and find another very fast. It isn't hard to find a lunch for a 2 year old every day.

TBH, I'd also be totally outraged if my nanny (not that I have one!) took my children to Burger King as well. Even if it was only twice a year. That's twice a year too many times.

Every day is not good. But having these things on occasion I feel is fine.

Today, the children I nanny had Burger King (100% beef) burgers. I think we do this about twice a year... it's very much a treat. Usually they get far more healthy things such as cheese sandwiches, rice cakes, pasta salad, potato salad, fruit selection, fruit salad, veg rice, tuna rice, tuna pasta bake, that sort of thing.

We do go to the local craft baker more often than perhaps we should. Once or twice a week, but I find it cheaper to buy them something rather than make it. We do lots of baking at home, but when I do that, they don't just eat one - they eat many. Whereas from the baker they just eat one. It's hard to find the right balance, tend to get yeast based things from bakers, and make non-yeast things at home (muffins, flapjacks, scones, cheese straws, welsh cakes, etc).

Chips - we have these once or perhaps twice a week. Tends to be after swimming, or as a treat when out (such as today). At home I occasionally do sliced potatoes fried, though I prefer not to do much fried things at home.
