Do you understand the difference between a 20-40 hour a week caregiver  vs.  a 60+ hour a week caregiver?

Mind you, I'm talking about WAKING hours.

Where did the 60-hr number come from?  Are you asking a question that has no bearing on the present discussion? Do you just want to know my opinion on 60-hr caregivers as a matter of policy? I am just curious how you came up with that number?[/quote]
I already told you, SOME nannies work 60+ hours a week.

I'm actually starting to tire of your stupidity, so I'm going to tell you:

SOME nannies ARE the primary caregivers.

If you still need help, here's what you do:
1. You count up the child's waking hours.
2. You count the nanny's working hours.
3. Whoever is providing the MAJORITY of care,
     IS the PRIMARY caregiver.
 
     That's what "primary" means.
     You can figure it out for yourself.

Now we know why you [b]adamently[/b] refused to identify a person who provides care for 60+ hours a week.

You are fooling no one.

If you are going to tell people what things mean and act as a dictionary, of sorts, you may want to brush up on the spelling thing.

I note that I've been perfectly polite to you; you're the one calling names.

And no, you don't get to "tell" anyone anything.

Counting the hours in the manner you proposed gets awfully tricky.  Is that per day? Per 24-hr period? Per week? Per month? What if the child is a prolific napper, is there a deduction for this? What about newborns who would sleep most of the day, do we deduct that time in favor of mom? What about children who wake up at night? If the child had a particularly troubled night, does the mom get to be the primary caregiver for that day, and nanny will take over the next day? What about the nanny's vacation? Does she stop being a primary caregiver during that week? Do you just want to make a master key called "primary caregiver" so that mom and nanny can trade it back and forth? So you see how convoluted this gets.

Here's the real meaning of primary caregiver to me: the permanent presence that makes decisions that affect the life of this child.  Nannies come and go. Parents stay.  What parents say goes.  You can take it from there. No crying in bed over weekends necessary.  [/quote]

The extent of your delusion is quite impressive.

You may believe anything you want.

God forbid you study early childhood development.
