[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think $2000 per year for a cleaning lady is really low. A SAHM does more than the cleaning lady does twice a month. Also, you would somehow have to put a value on the husband not having to do anything home/kid related. If the SAHM worked the husband would have to help with chores, food prep, bath, night wakings, staying home when kid is sick, dealing with transportation, etc. [/quote]

I paid my cleaning lady $7,000 a year for twice a week cleaning for 3 hours each.   So, based on that figure alone and the fact that I am like a personal chef + personal driver  + tutor in all subjects - DH has to be an extremely rich man to afford the staff to replace me. Especially one who is as highly educated as me.  Would you not rather have a very educated and invested person shape and mold the life of your child?

Thankfully, I have realized that I am surrounded with people in my life who are very appreciative of my contribution as a SAHM.  They value that over anything or anybody else.  This means that I can be grateful that I did something right and attracted the right people in my life.
