I said the upbring the raising of a child your forgetting the most important part imo this is one in the same. to contribute to the upbring of a child is contributing to the raising a child.

We have different defenitions of nasty and i never said YOU persoanally attacked nayone

for the record my children have spent the day with their father while i have done work on the computer for the businesses do you have a personal problem with that?

And imo raising a child and being part of their upbringing are two completly different things.

I dont disagree with you the point is that my buisness and my dh's buisness is a huge part of my parenting style the way i raise my family it is not "just my work" you are missing the point.

I have never claimed any work statis is the best i have made it very clear that what works for one family does not work for the other.

I guess that's what confused me. At my neighborhood elementary our aftercare program is everyday, all or nothing, and space is limited and hard to get into. But I can see SAHM's utilizing a program where it's a day here and there when they have other things going on with other kids.

That's exactly the way I see it. No matter how many people are making a contribution, the parent is the one who imparts values, lays down the groundrules for the contributors, and is ultimately responsible for every aspect of the child's upbringing.

It's really not a lot different from a business owner who has employees. Each employee plays a significant role in getting the job done but when all is said and done, the owner is responsible for the condition of the business.

How can bringing up a child and raising a child be different? google the two and you will see that they are not different. to raise a child is to bring up a child...peers do not bring up a child... that type of logic makes vitually no sense to me.

on a personal note the conditions of my business has everything to do with my employees... I could not take all the credit for our success my employees have much to do with my final outcome.

We must teach our children to be better parents than we are. We can only do that by being better parents ourselves

Perhaps we are totally misunderstanding each other but to raise your child is to bring up your child and if someone is a part of their upbringing they are a part of raising the child.

The Webster’s Dictionary defines a parent as follows:

parent n : a father or mother; one who begets or one who gives birth to or nurtures and raises a child; a relative who plays the role of guardian
v : bring up; "raise a family"; "bring up children" (bsy)

So how can being a part of upbringing of a child not be a part of raising a child? that makes no sense it is virtually impossible and would you really allow your childrens peers to bring up your children? That is scary stuff im sure i misunderstnad you...

I disagree that it adds nothing to the debate. The whole thing about dcp v. teachers started like 80 million posts ago with my talking about my friend the kindergarten teacher.

Since that point you have repeatedly made references to people thinking dcp's and teachers do the exact same thing. That has never happened. No one has said that dcp's and teachers are the same. The most anyone has said is that they share some functions. And since I was the first one to say that in reference to my friend, I wanted to make it very clear that what you were saying I said was untrue.
