I got this article from my mom. I think the government should pay mom's for their work. I would be willing to live by a set of state standards if it meant I could get a pay check how well behaved or prepared my kids are for life. I think I already try to raise them well, so some payback would be nice.What's a mom worth? (Or dad)
According to one new report, $138,095 a year.
That's the figure in a report by Salary.com, which calculates the wages that would have been paid a stay-at-home mom in 2007 if she were compensated for all the elements of her "job." That total is up 3% from 2006's salary of $134,121.
Moms who have jobs outside the house would earn another $85,939 for their mothering work, beyond what they bring home in existing salary.

Sounds good to me! I could handle that!! In fact, my husband wouldn't have to work then!!
ReplyDeleteYou are priceless - you cannot be compensated by money alone for the great job you do as a mom. I wouldn't want you to get government money because then legislators would want to tell you how to raise kids, or what to teach them (or not teach them), how to discipline, etc. I think it's the responsibility of families everywhere to value moms - fathers need to help their children value moms, churches need to values moms, etc.
ReplyDeleteGood point Kris, how about some health insurance then!? :)
