Mom explains why she charges husband $100 monthly “woman tax” to teach kids a lesson
The origin of the ‘Woman Tax’
Camilla, who is a mother of two, explained that the idea for the “woman tax” came from her husband.
He pays her $100 every month, divided into two payments.
This arrangement is meant to compensate her for the challenges she faces as a woman, especially during her menstrual cycle and pregnancy.
In her video, Camilla discusses how the tax originated.
She mentions the physical difficulties she has experienced, including having a period each month and going through two tough pregnancies.
During her pregnancies, she often felt sick and had to undergo two C-sections.
She believes that her husband’s payment helps acknowledge the physical burdens women often bear.
“This tax is to compensate me for the fact that I have to have a period every single month, I had two brutal pregnancies where I vomited most days, and then I had two C-sections.”
In addition to the monthly payment, Camilla mentions that her husband also covers her expenses for manicures and pedicures.
She finds joy in these treatments and believes they help her cope with the challenges of motherhood.
For her, these moments of self-care are important and bring happiness into her life.
She continued to say: “He pays my mani and pedi twice a month. It costs roughly £85 per month.
I cannot explain how happy getting a mani and pedi makes me. It really does make up for that week of bleeding.”
Teaching kids valuable lessons about self-care.
The tax does not just serve as compensation; it also has a deeper purpose.
Camilla wants to set a positive example for her children.
She emphasizes the importance of being taken care of and encourages her kids to understand the value of self-care.
By making this arrangement, she hopes her children will learn that it is essential to look after oneself and appreciate the support from others.
“I also feel really passionate about setting an example to my children that they should be taken care of and also to take care of themselves.
“They love seeing what designs I’m gonna choose the next few weeks.”
