Stop taking the word "primary" so personally. It doesn't mean most important or permanent. It simply means the person providing the majority of care for the child. Some babies go to bed at 7 and wake at 7 the next morning. If nanny works from 6-6 or 7-6, she is the one who spends the most waking hours with the child, and provides most of the care. It is not a comment on how important the parent is, so chill out. [/quote]
You don't get to decide what "primary" means in a way that precludes all others.  According to your definition, the identity of primary care providers depends on the number of waking hours, which change monthly if not weekly for kids.  What do you propose to do with full-time preschoolers? Do they have a primary care provider? Who? How many? Should a preschool teacher be considered a primary care provider for all preschoolers under her charge or what? What about napping children? Do you want to run a daily total of their waking and sleeping times?  You'd run yourself into a ridiculous rut.

The primary care provider, to me, means the person with primary responsibility for the child who makes important decisions shaping this child's life.  And that is the parent.  My child, regardless of who changes his diaper and takes care of him when I'm not there, will have one primary care provider until the day he turns of age.  I am grateful for everyone's help along the way, but the primary care provider is me. [/quote]
