Parents get upset with 19-year-old au pair for refusing to share her own food with their children: 'I get [paid] $196 per week'

The worst part about being responsible for other people's children is the "other people" aspect of the whole thing. Just ask anyone who works in childcare, is a school teacher, or otherwise volunteers for any after-school programs. 

People just have very different ideas about how the caring of children should be done, and they feel very strongly about those ideas, adamantly sticking to them and arguing them even when they're completely wrong. And in a lot of cases. It becomes quickly apparent where a lot of children's behavioral problems come from when you meet the parents responsible for that child. 

Nannies and au pairs typically provide a service to people who have come to expect a high level of service in their lives, owing to their status and wealth. They're not used to being told "no," and they have a habit of transferring that expectation to their increasingly entitled children.
