Why does there have to be a ranking order? Essentially your daughter has needs, and any potential mate has needs. However those needs are not mutually exclusive, nor are they even the same in most cases.

All of a sudden not only is your daughter #1 but so is the girl who is helping you with your daughter.
Question for the married couples out there with children, do you think of your child as #1 and wife as #2, or vice-versa, or are they both different but equally on top?

I think you are pretty much right on with your evaluation. I am married, with childern. My husband and my kids are both #1, and as you said, "both different but equally on top." It has always that way. I can't imagine anything dividing a relationship more than putting one over the other.
That said, the girl in this case was selfish.
. Really though, there's nothing wrong with a good spanking. If I did something wrong when I was young, I got one across my head or bum, and I turned out just fine (says I). These parents are always too politically correct...telling your kid to go to their room isn't a punishment. I really can't stand the parents as much as the kids. But it is a wonder how Supernanny can handle the kids without spanking them (but it just may be the kids act respectable at the end because the Supernanny is at home...we never get an update once she leaves).
