Wow, that might be worst study ever done.

NEW YORK - If the typical stay-at-home mother in the United States were paid for her work as a housekeeper, cook and psychologist among other roles, she would earn $138,095 a year, according to research released Wednesday.

This reflected a 3 percent raise from last year?s $134,121, according to Salary.com Inc , Waltham, Massachusetts-based compensation experts.

The 10 jobs listed as comprising a mother?s work were housekeeper, cook, day care center teacher, laundry machine operator, van driver, facilities manager, janitor, computer operator, chief executive officer and psychologist, it said.

The typical mother puts in a 92-hour work week, it said, working 40 hours at base pay and 52 hours overtime.

A mother who holds full-time job outside the home would earn an additional $85,939 for the work she does at home, Salary.com.

Last year she would have earned $85,876 for her at-home work, it said.

Salary.com compiled the online responses of 26,000 stay-at-home mothers and 14,000 mothers who also work outside the home.
 
Once they subtract the cost of Doritos, romance novels, and electricity to power the TV/Refrigerator it probably evens out.
 
Wow that's so stupid. What about single men who cook and clean for themselves? Should we throw in a bunch of money for them too?

Relax. It's a feel-good piece for women who sit at home while their husband/taxpayers make money for them.

No one is throwing money at anyone. With mother's day coming up, it serves to remind some people of the contributions women make that some take for granted.

That's the lowerst paid CEO's and psychiatrists I've ever seen, I think they should get a pay raise. It's no wonder that they get such large severance packages.

I meant why don't we do a study about men? If a typical single male were paid for what he did at home (Bartender + Cook + Housekeeper), he'd make a lot too. I'm just pointing out how stupid this is even for a feel-good study that's supposed to be fun.
 
Using their ('tard) logic, high-priced call girl should be on the list of "jobs" a stay-at-home mom works at for 92 hours a week. :roll:
 
joke all you want but i can tell you my wife's job is much, much, much harder than my job.

whenever i take time off, i can't wait to get back to work. i don't know how she does it every day.
