[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What about the women (including at least one earlier poster) who say that them staying home allows their husband to make more money? Isn't that taking into account the value of the stay at home mom's labor?[b] If she worked, her husband would make $100,000. Since she doesn't work he makes $500,000.[/b] Therefore, the "value" of her unpaid labor is already being taken into account. So why would we do it twice? [/quote] The example is ludicrous. Why would he make less if she worked? He wouldn't have a different job. He'd be doing the same thing. He chose his career path, whatever it was, before he even met his future wife. The only thing that would change if she worked is that the couple would be spending more on day care or nannies.[/quote] Are you serious? You can’t think of a job where you would make more money if you worked longer hours or had more flexibility? [/quote]
