[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before the kids were in school, the value was equivalent to whatever full time child care costs. I stayed at home in large part because I couldn't earn more than $50,000 a year in my field that that's what we figured I'd have to make in order to actually take home enough money to justify working. I agree with PP, I'd be doing everything else anyway. Now that the kids are in school, the only value is that DD doesn't have to quit dancing because I'm available to take her to class after school and DH gets to have the career of his dreams because he has someone else to do 100% of the parenting when he has to travel or is just swamped with work. So from DD and DH's perspective, my value is priceless. Real financial value? Not much. [/quote] From your child's perspective, that's just sad. I'd much rather want my dad around then know that my mom's value was only as good as the ability my father has to be absent from my life. Very sad.[/quote]
