"your and your" or "you and Your"

It is "you and your child's time".
It is "your car, your tv, your video, your book, but it is you and your child.

I am no expert here but "you and your" is my choice. Sorry but I can't cite grammar rules for you

Hi tmmonroe,

I am not sure if it is "...your and your child's time?" or "...you and your child's time?"

I hope Mister Micawber or CalifJim drop by and provide their guidance.


But the front part needs a change.

"Would you like to earn $50 an hour for..."

I look forward to seeing a definitive answer.

I don't know if there is a prescriptive rule on this, but I can tell you what people usually say.

They say "me and my child's", "you and your child's", and so on.

You can avoid the problem by saying, "my child's and my", "your child's and your", and so on.

Another way to avoid the problem is to say,

"Would you and your child like to earn $50 an hour?"

It would be your and your child's time! Would you say "you time"? If you take out "your child's" from the sentence, it would not make sense to have "you," therefore, you should use "your." It's "your" time and "your child's" time since they both are in possession.
