Hooray for Mothers

There was an interesting article posted on Reuters about how much a stay-at-home mom would make based on what she does around the house. They calculated the figure based on its relation to ten types of jobs: housekeeper, day-care teacher, cook, computer operator, laundry machine operator, janitor, facilities manager, van driver, chief executive and psychologist. Based on the study, the average stay-at-home mom would make a salary of $134,121. Not bad. However, I think that in comparison to the good that they do for society as a whole, that estimate is low.

My mom is a stay-at-home mom, so maybe I'm a little biased in my viewpoint. But she has done so much good for our family, taking the roles of the ten types of jobs listed above and even more! Happy Mother's Day (a week early)!
