How dare you judge her like that. Not every parent regards her child as a commodity. Expect your child to dump you into an old folks home as soon as it's no longer cost effective to care about YOU. Shame on you.

OP has more money than sense.

Maybe like you, the other family may have other priorities. Maybe they have less income. I really don't know. Bottom line is that OP is one smart Mama.

You know nothing about my priorities; let's leave it at that. There is no need to get personal.

I didn't ask you why the other family pays less - we will never know.

I asked you why you think it is fair that OP should pay $8.50/hr for the same service that costs the other family $6.50/hr. I haven't heard anything reasonable back.

You have some significant reading comprehension difficulties. Sorry, I can't help you here. Good luck to you.

I know you can't help me. You don't have the answer. Could have said that from the beginning.

It'd be useful if you could formulate a cohesive question. Don't sweat it. It's alright.

It would help if you learned to read, but it's OK, copy-paste isn't difficult. Here is a question for you:

Why do you think it is fair that OP should pay $8.50/hr for the service that costs the other family $6.50/hr? And do try to stay away from platitudes like "because she values security and stability of care for her child." That's not at all the question. The other family, presumably, is also getting security and stability of care for their two children, but paying much less for it. Why is that fair? Why should OP subsidize their childcare choices?

And by the way, it would be a valid answer to say "no, that division isn't fair to the OP, but since that's the only way she could keep her child with that nanny - since the other family refused to pay more - that's what she had to do, pick up their slack and pay up. Life isn't fair sometimes. "

Taking this into account, I thought we should give a bigger increase. Because I do not think it is fair for them to only pay $2

So, by giving a higher increase it is a win win. I
Get to keep paying a lower cost for a wonderful nanny. And, the other family gets a break as well. DONE

Actually, I think quite a few people said that you guys should figure out the rate to make the nanny happy, and divide it by three, you pay one third, and the other family two thirds. But whatever works for all of you.

Meant to say pay $2 extra

You're just jealous of OP.

No, I'm jealous of the second family. They are getting pretty much a personal nanny and they got their share partner to pay for most of the difference. Way to go.

Good for you to admit you're jealous. You really should make an effort to learn some valuable parenting skills from OP. Sometimes your child's stability and security is well worth an extra 50 cents an hour. Down the road you may find yourself wishing you had made a similar wise choice.

I'm not jealous of their parenting choices. I'm jealous of their ability to find people to underwrite the cost of their childcare.

You haven't answered a real question: why should OP pay more than the other family?

Answer to your dumb question:
OP gets to maintain stable and secure care for her own child.
Are you even "educated"?

But wouldn't the other family want the same thing? Why do they get to pay less for the "stable and secure care" than OP? Why should OP pay a higher rate than the other family?

You are resorting to name-calling; clearly, you're out of actual answers.
