[quote=Anonymous]There's all the individual services and then there is the need to manage them (monitoring the cost and quality of service, finding new providers, coordinating between functions). Figure on adding 20% for management. My wife is a SAHM and I make about $60k/year. If she worked we'd cobble together some array of aftercare, shared child-rearing, leaning on relatives/friends and simply scraping by from day to day in a messy house. In our context, the economic value of her being a SAHM is more like $10k. Maybe less. (Good thing she's not doing it for the money)[/quote]
