[quote=Anonymous]"Why do you feel the need to project this on all SAHMs? We work too. We enable our spouses to advance their careers because we’re at home doing most of the physical and emotional work of raising children. If we were working full time outside of the home, our spouses would have to split the workload of keeping a home and raising a family 50/50. I get so tired of this trite perspective on SAHMs - we may not make money (cleaning the house, grocery shopping, doing laundry, walking the dogs, doing yard work, helping kids with homework, making meals, schlepping kids to school and activities, being emotionally available to our children volunteering at school, etc.,) but our value is easily worth six figures. I calculated mine once. If we were to hire someone to do what I do, it would cost more then $105,000 a year."

This is hilarious. How do you think the "work" of all the SAHMs with husbands who earn $85K/year would be valued?

And let's say you do indeed "deserve" $105k, you'd have to deduct all the expenses like the second car you drive, the cost of your haircuts/color, food, vacation expenses, clothing, a 401K savings plan, your housing, etc... [/quote]
