'Benefit from you' is weird wording, surely she benefits (financially) from her fans

She makes it sound as though she slaves away for free, under duress! Cheeky so and so, she literally works in her industry purely for the accolades and financial rewards! Then she has the audacity to call her long-suffering fans entitled
How many months was it between her break up with Oliver and first date/Joel moving in? Enough time to do any self-reflection/healing? Doesn't sound like it. Was it even 4 or 6 months?
I actually think she'll do okay on this tour despite all the ridiculous travel (not very fair on the baby and probably not recommended to be in a car seat that long).
She'll get more help than she otherwise would staying at home, at Lambert Jackson's expense (including Debbie Furlough Fletcher's 24hr on-call wage). We know Carrie doesn't like to put her hand in her pocket so this will equate to 2-3 weeks of having a free full time nanny. She'll feel like she's
doing her mum a favour as she's getting paid too. Maybe she'll have LJ cover Debbie's part time wage during rehearsals in London. It equates to a nice little break from the drudgery of motherhood

Her job isn't anywhere near as arduous as most mums returning to work and it's only a 2-3 week stint for a few hours a day (the downside being the travel).
Carrie will get to live out her best actress-y life, enjoy superior travel and accommodations, have minimal mum-guilt as grandma will have the baby in her hotel room and be doing fabulous enriching activities while Carrie rehearses/prats about backstage/lingers at stage door/goes out for food with her team, Danny or a visiting Joel and dips in and out occasionally to see her daughter. I'd assume grandma/the nanny will also have the baby overnight so Carrie will be well rested.
I'm not trying to mum shame, I just think it won't be Carrie taking on the practical or emotional burden of parenting on tour (yet she'll pretend to be 'doing it all'

). It'll be Debbie and/or a paid nanny.
Compare this to the same month spent at home. She'd probably get some regular help from Debbie but maybe not every day and not overnights. Joel would be around but possibly getting on her nerves. Maybe he'd be out at rehearsals if his Hamilton contract is coming to a close, ditto Scott and his career pursuits, leaving her alone at home (because no friends and no inclination/organisation to get out and about or attend baby groups). Going on tour with all this free stuff provided and plenty of pandering not to mention low pressure as she's simply rambling about herself each night (no lines remember and probably songs she's sung a thousand times before) sounds infinitely more exciting and glamorous.
