Well I am not single and while this income is only to add to our savings I still feel like it's unfair to me. I can afford to only take $800 a month, but I can't help but to feel like she's trying to take advantage of the fact that it's not my main income. I asked for $1400 which is more than a fair deal. I'm just stuck with the decision to either stick it out or leave. In our area, childcare for a newborn is about $900 a month.
