[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From an economic POV, you are worth the cost of daycare or nanny, plus the cost of a cleaning lady and perhaps the cost savings of not ordering in periodically, all of which should be trued up for taxes.

So say about $36,000 for the nanny, maybe $2,000 for the cleaning lady and $2,000 for the not eating out as often (since presumably as a SAHM you'd cook more frequently than if you worked). Call it $40,000 post tax or worth about $60,000 post tax.

That value goes down as the kids get older and can clean for themselves and don't require full time 50 hour a week childcare.

Economically speaking I'd say $60k for the first 7 years, $40k thereafter. [/quote]

And what, may I ask, is the monetary value that you place on sex? Top vs. bottom? Does that rate change with frequency or freakyness?
Does the rate change if the "nanny" is also a "wet nurse"?

:roll: [/quote]

That's ridiculous. The point is to value the services a SAHM provides that a WOHM wouldn't.[/quote]

But there are very few services SAHM provide that WOHM provide, especially once the kids are in school. The SAHM want to feel they provide "other" value for some odd reason... but they don't. They are just given the opportunity and time to do nothing (or get their nails done/play tennis/go to the gym) with their day. [/quote]
