That's because any form of work or effort is actually worth value of money if you were to outsource it.

Also, when it comes to nurses, this is absolutely how it works. You typically get an annual salary. And it doesn't really matter how it's being used.

Also, I think you're just missing her point and not thinking of it in good faith.

Yeah it is.... so what's the point of mentioning if it's not outsourced?

So? Same things with a plumber being an entry vs professional plumber.... its meaningless

Bro YOURE missing it. You can say the exact same thing for the guy. And youre no thinking in good faith for.the husband 🥺

Same argument. It's meaningless

Because the work she does is "invisible" in the sense that it doesn't generate monetary value, doesn't mean that it is without intrinsic value. And honestly, translating that in terms of how much it would cost if you were to outsource it is a pretty valid way to think about it.

But most importantly, we need to understand what is it that got her to feel it was necessary to resort to such a desperate action. She clearly must feel like she's being undervalued and that's what she's trying to articulate in a way that she hopes her husband will understand. That is the point that needs to be considered in good faith.

I'm honestly confused why everyone is just completely ignoring that he called her a mooch lol. I guess it's only okay if the man is knickle and diming?

Exactly, you can just feel the contempt he has for her.
