I made the mistake of watching a friends children. Her children were aweful. They thought they had special privledges, ran the house and helped themselves to my fridge and snack drawers. I tried speaking to her about it but she said it was because they felt so comfy with me. Which ya thats great, but we needed boundries during daycare hours. It got worse. She felt I should make them what they wanted for meals and snack. My rule is I make one meal only. If your child doesn't like it, then you are welcome to bring your own. Since I refused to cater to her children it ended up in a fight. After a 12 year friendship, it ended all over meals.
