[quote=Anonymous]I'm an MB. I wouldn't give a $4/hr raise for a second child. I think their offer is appropriate and fair, and -as the PP said - $4/hr could very well tip them into what they would pay for a dedicated nanny, or an unaffordable range. If this is short-term do they plan to only offer the increase while you have both of their children? Seems like that would be at least as important to negotiate as the per hour dollar amount - $2/hr as a permanent increase is more valuable than $4/hr for a few months. Always worth negotiating of course, but I'd be careful in how you approach it. (Rather than "I deserve..." try "I'm concerned about the workload and age differential being significantly different with 3, and perhaps more markedly than just going from 1 to 2. I'd ask you to consider a $4/hr adjustment, for the period of time that I have both children of course. After that I realize we would go back to the current rate."[/quote]
