Underpaid, glorified nanny

Blame it on my "pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps/your -father-put-himself-through-college-and-barely-spoke-English upbringing, but I don't like feeling like a parasite living off my ex. (This is where the voice of my counselor comes in: "So you're saying the state of California has it wrong and your ex shouldn't pay you child support?")

During one of the unused hours in my underemployed days I calculated (based on my niece's nanny rate of $15/hour) how much ex would have to pay a nanny to take care of our children and it turns out I'm underpaid by about $1K a month. I don't know; maybe I should write the state of California.
