What a Stay-at-Home Mom Should Earn
$112,962
That’s right, if stay-at-home moms were paid, Salary.com determined they should earn this six-figure salary. How? The income was calculated by combining the average wages, plus overtime, for the jobs a mom typically performs including laundress, janitor, driver, cook, facilities manager, psychologist, and CEO (of the household). The results also showed that the average stay-at-home mom works a grueling 94.7-hour week and would make an average of $22.94 a week.

This column seems to come out every Mother’s Day. How refreshing to see it come out for Christmas, too.
Anyhow, how about Stay-at-Home Dads?
This is ridiculous. Working moms do all of these things too. Why is it a competition?
It’s not a competition, its just that most people tend to think that just because you are a stay at home mom than you must just sit at home eating bon bons all day. A lot of people do not realize that its a lot of work and you don’t get paid, no sick days, no breaks for yourself or even a simple thank you.
We all need to support each other whether we stay at home or go to work. Both ways of life take a lot of work, patience and sacrifice.
