[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love how when an MB adds a new baby it only warrants $1 more per hour, but if nanny adds a baby, her wage should be sliced in half lol. Which is it? An oh so drastic change in set up or no big deal? Or is it that the precious snowflake of an MB is inherently better than whatever spawn the help created in her womb? Gotta love the double standards. A baby is a baby and they generally require the same care. If I'd only get a dollar more per hour for your baby, don't be surprised when my discount to you is $1/hour for my kid. [/quote]
The whole "nanny bringing her baby" thread had me thinking this exact same thing! The double standards are ridiculous. [/quote]
What's ridiculous is your command of math. When the family has a new child and adds a dollar or two to the nanny's wages (rather than doubling it), it makes perfect sense because the family is, in effect, running a nanny share within the confines of one family.  The care you provide PER CHILD will be reduced - the child that used to have 100% of your focus will now get 50% of your focus - and so the amount of care you provide per each child will go down.  This is why the rate for the new child is increased only slightly - because the amount of care per child is reduced and is therefore priced at less than full care.

When it's the nanny's baby, the same logic applies. You are running a share, except one baby is yours, and so the amount of childcare PER CHILD goes down.  The family pays one half and you pay the other half. [/quote]

What's really ridiculous is your utter stupidity and lack of basic knowledge or understanding of childhood development. Come back when you get some insight.

Were you raised with a sibling?[/quote]
