Did you make your decision to SAH/WAH/WOH ft/pt based primarily on objective/tangible factors, or with your heart?

You made a general statement that to the casual observer *could* be taken as all-inclusive. Thus the response.

I completely agree. I feel the parents/legal guardians are the only ones *raising* the child. Everyone else in my childrens life are an influence. DH and I are the only two parenting them, thus we are *raising them*.

No- it doesn't. I just don't think it equals 'helping to raise'. I would say that these sorts of people would definately be influential, but I wouldn't equate that to 'helping to raise.
And what of the grocery store checker in a small town who takes time to have long conversations with a child every time they come in? (Thinking of my own life and a particular person.) I wouldn't say they helped my parents to raise me, but I would definatley say that they were influential in my life.
