N2  - John Ward has provided the first definitive treatment of the forensic treatment of damagetso parents in the loss of a child (this journal, Ward 1989). His preferred treatment, however, provides for a significant underestimate of the value of the household services of both mother and father, but particularly the child's mother in cases when the mother is a full time homemaker. This note is designed to suggest somewhat more inclusive meaning of the investment value and a better method for projecting the investment value of time spent in mothering, fathering and other household services the parents have invested in the child.
