WWYD re feeding babysitter on game nights?
One of my old kids is going to be watching C on gmae nights. She'll get to our house around 5:15 or so.
WWYD about dinner for her. That's expensive for us to buy pizza/chinese for hopefully 16 games.
I think that's too early that she'd eat dinner at home.
Would you get some frozen meals(pizza) etc for her?
Re: WWYD re feeding babysitter on game nights?
I think that sounds great. She won't have to wonder if iti s OK to eat that frozen pizza and that would be a great intro to ask her if she likes anything specific that you can keep on hand.
She's coming over tomorrow to hang out and see the whole process. I'll ask her then!
I was thinking crap. That's a lot of dominos!
I plan on feeding her. I was just thinking of a cheaper way than ordering pizza every time that wasn't janky ;-)
little ceasers has $5 hot n ready
The problem would be getting it here =( I already run around like a chicken with my head cut off on game days. DH isn't able to assist at all on game days.
Sorry, I meant yes to frozen pizza. We didn't have any delivery places in the sticks, so that was what parents always left for me.
Yeah - I'd make sure she is ok with it, but having frozen meals/pizza would work for me.
(ok meaning she eats that...not that she's a vegetarian or something)
She's not
Thanks y'all!
I'll ask her for her likes tomorrow.
Sometimes my sitters get pizza, sometimes I ask them if they want something from CFA or what not, sometimes they get there and I say hey, the kids had/are having X, but we have _____ if you want something else.
that's how we usually did it. free reign of the fridge, make a sandwich or something.
as the kids were older, we'd have dinner planned and just offer whatever the kids were having.

When I was babysitting as a teen, I remember going hungry some nights because I didn't plan ahead to bring dinner, and I didn't feel comfortable eating their food. I never even felt comfortable enough to eat the leftovers from the baby/kid's plate. I blame it on the Catholic guilt.
I think it's very nice of you to offer food at all, and giving free range to your pantry is a very generous offer.

I grew up with really cushy babysitting jobs, there was always a $20 left for pizza and I was always told to keep the change as a tip. I was a regular sitter for real estate agents, every single Saturday. If I had someone over regularly, I would see what they would want, but I would probably end up leaving cash for whatever they want to eat. Though now, would $20 even cover pizza? I haven't ordered in forever.
So Tasty, So Yummy
Oh goodness....me too!!
DITTO - and if there wasn't pizza money, there was always yummy pasta to make or whatever other fancy food they had in the fridge! - (Though mine were not real estate agents, they were custom home builders for Bellaire, WestU, River Oaks, etc... )
