Feeding 1 yr olds

[Kath]

I would say yes, if they provide that extra snack. Your rates account for the 1 meal and 2 snacks. That's totally standard. If they think it should be no big deal, then should be no big deal for them to provide. Assuming a snack costs $2 per serving (not unusual if it's organic), that's $10 per week, and about $500 per year. No big deal, eh?
Most parents that promise food, in my experience, don't end up bringing anything as it's such a bother for them.
