there was a yahoo news article, said this morning that remain in the home-working mothers deserve to be paid in 138 000?
year. in with something like this at least once a year. How come they are never one for working families deserve paid. My work does not stop when I leave the office. i average maybe 1 hour of time watching television one evening. other moments when I'm home, I'm cleaning and doing things with children and even baby middle of the night. my wife is a housewife and dislikes Nor gives me plenty of free time when I get home. it's worth my time when you leave work? Should we also do a study on the extent which single men or girl must be paid to sit in the laundry on the weekend to do your laundry? Heres the link http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070502/us_nm/work_mothers_dc; _ylt = AtsRBmocZKnYE0zQ32HkF03MWM0F
Looks like a real catch. 
The study reveals a society where women do at home are not valued and are considered non-contributory to the economy. I guess they pay on their work and are on the books concerning economic productivity goes. Their complaints would say that you do not feel secure recognition and housewives are given a price, then you're not recognized by their hard work. I always wonder why people are insulted when another group is rented. Instead of complaining about what you do at home at night, try to smile and offer help. I think their relationship will improve.

You sound like a real catch.
The study is indicative of a society where stay at home moms are not valued and are considered non-contributory to the economy. I presume you are being paid at your job and are on the books as far as economic productivity goes.
Your complaints sound like you don’t feel you get recognition and that stay at home moms are being given an award while you’re not recognized for your hard work. I always wonder why people feel insulted when another group is praised.
Instead of complaining about what you do at home in the evenings, try smiling and offering to help. I think your relationship will improve.
That’s probably cause most guys, don’t do shit when they get home. Your time is worth just as much, and your wife and kids are lucky to have a father that is involved. Most men park it on the recliner after they get home. And that is why there are not any news story’s about how much the father is worth.
thats a buncha bullcrap, i was a stay at home dad for over a yr doing about 90% of all the chores plus all the schooling and that,its only as hard as you make it ,but not a $138,000 a yrs worth hell why would you work if you got that kinda money for taking care of your kids and doing everything else,hell i wouldn’t oh and they call me daddy
because you do get paid something. We stay at home moms get nothing but what ever it is the husband deems necessary to give us. And we have to put up with fighting kids, cleaning up after not only them but our husbands, we get no days off, we cook, clean, and get taken for granted most of the time. Yep i really believe we deserve that money. and for your question about college kids and laundry, well hell it is about time that they did their own laundry! Why should we pay them for being responsible?
Notice that said for a 92-hour work week.
Which you know that those complaining the loudest about this (not you) probably aren’t putting in those kinds of hours.
‘and up with the baby in the middle of the night’
Wow, sure sucks having kids, glad I don’t have to deal with that crap. Anyway, staying home with kids and doing housework is not ‘work’. Work is doing labor for monetary compensation, not giving junior a juicebox and watching Oprah.
Guess it kind of sucks that the stay at home mother is worth more than the rest of us working stiffs. Oh well, thanks for the info though, wonder if working mothers should cut that in half due to the fact that when we get home we still have everything to do that the stay at home does all day?
We are all worth a lot more than what we are being paid, but when i gave birth to my daughter and when i got married i didnt find the employment contract anywhere.
Great question. I’m right there with you my friend. Matter of fact, I’m helping my wife many times during the day while I’m at work. Computer issues, discipline issues, house issues, pet issues, car issues, etc.
I’m not complaining, I love all of it. But you are right, where’s the overtime salary computation for me? I guess it is after the kin folk leave and the kids get fed, me and my woman get to head off to bed!
I agree with you 110%!
I am a mother and I work full time outside the home and still do all the housework, cooking, cleaning, laundry etc….
whats my time worth??? Many, many a sleepless night I have had with a baby or sick kid and had to go to work the next day!!!!!!
Stay at home Moms, NO sympathy from ME! I would LOVE to stay at home!
What women that stay at home do not seem to realise is that they DO get paid for their work at home. If your husband is supporting you, then he is paying you to be home with the housework and kids. Stay at home wives do not have to pay rent or any of the bills. They don’t have to pay for groceries, clothes, their car, insurance, and every other necessity in life. I would have to say that doing the housework and taking care of the children is a small price to pay for having every expense paid for you.
To wildfiestykitten2003 – How can you say that you get nothing, as I said, you get all of your expenses paid. You’re on a computer that your husband paid for, and your using internet access he paid for. You probably have a car, who paid for that? How about those clothes you have, who earned the money for those? Why would you think that you are entitled to cash on top of all of this?
So, yes, if you compare the work they do at home to what professionals do, the services that they do may be worth that much, but housewives are already getting most of that in free rent and living expenses.
They also get to see their children every day and watch them grow up in a way that the husband at work supporting them can never do. How many fathers have missed their kid’s first word, first step, etc. because they are on the job working so that their wives can be at home to see these things? I would have to say that that guy should be able to come home and kick his feet up for a least a couple of hours when he gets home.
Women who have the privilege of staying home with the kids should stop trying to figure out what their work is worth, and start realising how lucky they are that they don’t have to go to a soul sucking job every day and can be there while their kids grow up. They should also acknowledge all of the benefits that they have that can’t be assigned a dollar value.
Many will give you the typical answer of well U WORK & get a paid for it. Of course the working parent does miss out on the most priceless payment of all – watching their child grow in the world and seeing everything through their eyes and hearing the first words, etc., I am sure that when you get home – you smooch your wife into giggles and you dash straight to your child and embrace them and play with them, that is why you only have 1 hour for television – right?
It’s sad that the government has plunged our economy & nation into such financial ruin for the majority of americans wherein the important things in life have a cash value?
