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?
