In letting ds eat crisp

Ds is 5! He comes to work with me every day! 7:30am - 5:30pm 5 days a week.

I nanny for a family from Pakistan.

3 families live in this one house!

The parents of the child I look after both work.

The fathers sister ((A) stays home with her 8 month old!

Ok, so everyday I have to pack ds and myself lunch! And a lot extra for ds, he needs to eat a fair bit more than I do. Meals usually consist of leftovers from the night before, curry and rice for instance.

But I also pack ds other things, cucumber sticks, carrot sticks, peanuts, etc. And one thing he does have is a pack of crisp, today ds had lunch at 1pm, the small baby eats his lunch at 2:30pm after his nap.

So I'm sitting feeding the baby and ds is sat eating a bag of mini cheddars, A comes in and says "what are these? Do not feed him these any more, they're not good for him"

I'm
Sorry but I feel aggravated, I am providing a balanced diet for ds, surely he can have a pack of crisps or cheddars or what ever!

There's no way a five-year-old can be adequately homeschooled by someone who is simultaneously working as a nanny.

Please either homeschool your child properly, or send him to a proper school to be educated by professionals.

OP come back, I want to know more about this Pakistani family who allow their nanny to homeschool her child whilst at work.

I thought if you chose to homeschool your child then the education authority would come and check to ensure you had everything in place. Is that not done?
