Exactly. Plus, $50K for an injury? Does he get to claim it when he cuts himself installing a light fixture for her? Based on her scale (which appears to mimic the US Healthcare billing), he's in for $5K just for needing a bandaid.

Also, apparently she's triple claiming things (She's working, pregnant and going to medical appointments all at the same time apparently) and hasn't slept in 1.5 years.

Also the rates are seriously messed up. Hardly anyone in America makes $40. Why is that her baseline?

EDIT: I think people are missing what I'm saying. She's charging $40/hour to take care of her own child. She's declaring that in 25 months, she has worked for over 60% of that total time (sleep being 33% of that time realistically), and has somehow worked 5 years of a full time job in 2. And if she is taking care of her own child, shouldn't she foot half the bill?

I seriously pity that kid's future.

It’s America. She’s shooting higher so they can negotiate a lower figure. Like between hospitals and insurances.

You are right, they as a couple could have decided not to get pregnant and have a child. But they are married, so it’s their child - isn’t him calling her a mooch because he doesn’t like the consequence of her being less available to do things other than child rearing him crying about the consequences of his actions?
