The facts are that you are currently paying for 1/2 of a nanny.  Once the new baby arrives, you'll be getting 1/3 of a nanny, assuming she juggles it all well.  So because the scope of service you receive will be diminished, you should in all fairness pay less.[/quote]
Your paranoid condition is getting worse with every post. Does a second bio child get half of a mother? Many of them get a better mother and most of us know that. Why do you think so many parents are eager for a second child? Mind you, I did NOT say all, before you jump down my throat. [/quote]
You're barking up the wrong tree.  Love isn't quantifiable, but time and money is.  The nanny is not the mother, so a child in a nanny share does not get a better nanny just because there is now another child around. I don't suppose you have any objections to the fact that nannies in share receive less PER CHILD? Or do you think parents in nanny shares should pay the same rate they would for one-on-one care?

FYI, there isn't any "most of us." There's just you.

And the reasons parents are eager for a second child is not so the first one gets a better mother.[/quote]

+1.  I agree that the family who is not adding a second child to the share should get a small rate reduction, because their child will not be getting less attention.  The problem, though, is that if one family pays $8 per hour and the other family pays $16, the family with two kids would be better off getting a nanny of its own.  They can easily find a nanny for two kids at $17 per hour, and probably some good options at $16 per hour as well.  [/quote]

That's the big issue with a 3 kid share. Unless its 3 different families, it makes no economic sense for the 2 kid family to be in a share any longer. It is a hell of a lot of work doing a 3 child share and as someone who has done it, I would need at least $24/hour to feel compensated, but I understand that doesn't make financial sense for one family. The only reason a family might do this is if they have an awesome nanny and want to maintain stability for their child. What is not fair is shortchanging the nanny on her rate to force the situation to be a financial win for the families. [/quote]
