I'm not sure what category this goes under.. but heres my problem =D.. sorry for the length!
I'm 14 and I baby-sit for a 7 year old. My dad has known her dad since he was a kid, so I have a really good relationship with her parents, and they pay great! Their kid is kind of bratty and loves to share things.. I know "sharing is caring".. but she loves to share food and drinks! Shes always back-washing and I find it really nasty! I'm just so tired of having "fishies" in my drinks- and whenever we go out she is always grabbing food off my plate without asking! Tomorrow I am going to Vegas with her, and I really need a way to tell her that I dont want to share food/drinks without hurting her feelings.. otherwise she will go crying to her parents and they will not be too happy with me, which could dock my pay!

Children can only be tought right from wrong if we teach them, You can do this in a gentle way simply by saying no and by not giving in to the child, try sitting the child at the table with the fish pie and if the child puts fish pie in her or his drink then say no gently and remove the drink they will soon get the message and stop if you are persistant. Or if the child persists in putting pie in your drink then gently say no and remove the drink, dont be afraid the child will cotton on in the end and will not be upset. When you are in company do the same. Or simply have a word with an adult who have had children.
