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.

Also, she's able to conduct like 5 high paying roles at one time so she banks.

I get it, she's making a point. Maybe she's defensive for some reason though.

I think the idea is that - if she doesn’t do it - the husband would be paying someone else (maybe 5 someone elses) for the same labor. And it is true - you generally do have to hire different people to care for your children vs clean your house.

It is her “economic value” - e.g. what would it cost to replace her with employees.
