[quote=Anonymous]May I throw this out there. I have no idea how your finances are, where you stand, or any of those things. What if you do put a value on it and get it - assuming he just says ok and moves the money. Do you really want to tell your children that there was a dollar amount attached to your giving birth and caring for them? Set aside the dynamic between the two parents. The dynamic this is setting in regards to caring for the children going forward is dangerous. "Mom was smarter about money - she paid for my college but Dad bought me a really cool car". Personally I think you are opening a dangerous co-parenting dynamic when you start to place $$ values on everything you do for your children. "I'll take the children to soccer but your going to give me $100" is analogous to what it sounds like you are doing. [/quote]
