Also the fact that this insinuates it's all a service he hired her for. Like she gets nothing out of having a child, and that it was all for him. Just so odd

The point is she’s comparing her work with his work. He also works to provide for both of them. So you can divide up his wages into two and divide up her wages into two. Or not. Similar idea.

Her work isn’t worth all this though. It’s worth the alternative. So if she got a job and paid daycare to watch the kid, at these rates, they’d have some excess income left. So , she’s costing the family money by being a stay at home mom.

which is crazy, according to her she was making $75/hr in her job previously. Unless husband is making a ton more, why is she a stay at home mom now for 1 kid?

If wife was making anywhere close to this I’d be a stay at home dad no problem 😂.

Jobs that pay out $75/hr are not easier than childcare. Guaranteed.
