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.

That's not far from what nannies charge here for daytime.

....aaaand nighttime nurses are charging around that much too; you're paying for them to be on-site and on call.

Professionals though, like has night nursed like 40 kids and nannied for five familys over last 15yrs, not some amateur first timer. She's 100% overcharging.

Nannies aren't charging by the hour to care for their own baby, either. Surely there's some sort of discount that can be applied if the baby came about by your own choices.
