I wouldn't give her a dime more than required either, but the idea here is for me and the kids to be able to keep the house, which we love. If she doesn't agree to something like this, then it is mutual assured destruction, and we all live someplace new (and most likely not as nice).
It is a self-interested payoff, which I could afford, a tit for tat arrangement (if she makes more than some amount, it stops, btw).
Does that sound more reasonable?
