Agree. The other posters have no idea how valuable it is. The highest calling and job a woman can have is wife and mother. Obviously many here dishonor that.[/quote]

I don't get it. I'm a wife and mother and I have a paying job. Didn't think these were mutually exclusive. [/quote]

+1. There are clearly a few insecure SAHMs on here who feel the need to justify their decision to SAH by acting as if it is a higher calling and they are superior to working moms.  Most SAHMs I know aren't obnoxious like this and understand that everyone should do what works best for their family, but a few have no internal self worth and have to put others down/make up ridiculous math equations about their financial value to make themselves feel better.

I imagine moms who WOH and SAH both add immeasurable value to their families beyond just their paycheck or providing childcare. 
This thread seems like a stupid troll thread.[/quote]

My initial reaction to the original post was that it was a SAHM prepping her arguments for alimony. I was surprised it veered off into the martyr debate.
