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.

The CEO role is 4.1 hours a week @$195 an hour. Yeah, stay-at-home moms have the same qualifications as a $400k/year CEO. 😉

And why don't I deserve the pay of a TV and movie critic for sitting on my ass watching TV?!

agreed

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.

EXACTLY.

To those idiots thinking the journalist/MSNBC are calling for stay-at-homes to get some sort of "funding" or paycheck are you truly that stupid and dense?

Well said.....

It seems to be doing the opposite with the outrageous claims. If that was the purpose of the article, why couldn't they just write factually about the things a stay at home mom really does. Simply following a determined mom around for a week and detailing how she spends her time would be far more effective than this trash.

Of course you have to pick the right mom, because it's just as likely that you'll pick one that watches tv for 8 hours a day, cleans for 15 minutes, and dinner consists of going out to mcdonalds for 10 minutes.

No one thinks anyone is calling for stay-at-home parents to be paid (although on another board one person did mention that Germany does pay parents to stay at home :conused; ). I personally think it's a stupid study, because it puts a dollar value - at a professional pay rate no less - on mundane tasks that everyone does as part of being alive and having kids - even people who work for a living. To say that the financial value of a stay at home mom's contributions to the household is over $100k is absurd and just silly.

Maybe they were assuming these women were married ? If that were the case, sex most certainly would not figure into the equation 😉

Amen to that

 
While i agree that the article is BS stay at home mothers do have a rough job. but no where near 140k
 
$138k?

I'm all for patronizing women to make them feel good every once in a while, but that is bullsh!t.

you don't think stay at home moms can be greedy and immoral too?
 
sure assuming she's raising someone elses kids. if i had to hire someone to wash my clothes it would cost more than if i just did it myself😛 doesn't mean i'm washing my clothes at 10 bucks an hour or whatever
 
My plan A is to find a sugarmomma and be a stay at home dad, this should be good ammo for that plan.

But I have plan Bs and what not so I'm prepared.

Amen and Amen to those comments.

However, I think there is a little flawed logic in that study though because you're not taking care of someone else's kids, you're taking care of your own. Therefore, if you went back to work to do the jobs they say the stay-at-home moms do, they would have to pay someone to watch their kids while they watched someone else's kids during the day. Also, the father gets no credit for taking over when he gets home after a 40+hour work week.

By their logic I have two jobs. I spend 40hours as a chemist and 52hours sharing the responsibilities of my wife, thus entitling me to have of their base pay for 52hours, and I'm darned sure I make more during my 40hours/week job as a synthetic chemist than a childcare worker makes in a 40hour work week.
 
Relax. It's a feel-good piece for women who sit at home while their husband/taxpayers make money for them.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Getting up in arms over this is ridiculous, nobody with a pair of working brain cells would take this tripe seriously.
 
this is stupid. what about all the driving i do for family and friends, if i charged them like a cabbie i'd be richer than bill gates.
or what about the crap i do for free on fixing computers, etc. try calling geek squad
or what about the times i clean the house. yeah newsflash, self-proclaimed experts, real men do housechores too. and not sit on their arse wasting time on useless "studies".
people have too much time to do these dumb studies. get a real job.

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

52 hours of overtime?? That's BS. Or at least be fair and give these 'overtime' hours to a man too. Things like mowing the lawn, coaching a kids rec team, fixing that leaky faucet, helping with the kids, and retrieving that piece of china off the high shelf all have 'value' too.
 
Got to love how there are so many hard working people, who have truly earned their wages, sitting around neffing on ATOT.
