The "Salary" of a Stay at Home Mom - $117,867.00

Don't we all say, "I wish I could get paid to do this."

Or we SHOULD get paid to do this.

Rearing a child is one of the most difficult occupations in the world, yet one of the least recognized and respected.

"Oh...you're just a stay at home mom" Like there is no credibility.

Hello! I'm raising a human being! What could be more difficult, yet more rewarding?

Well, I was watching the news this morning and Salary.com came out with a measure in which they can calculate what we should be getting paid!

Based on a survey of more than 28,000 moms, Salary.com determined that the time mothers spend performing 10 typical job functions would equate to an annual salary of $117,867.00 - boasting an approximate work week of 91 hours!

The job titles that best matched a mom's definition of work are (in order of hours spent per week):

* Housekeeper

* Day Care Center Teacher

* Cook

* Computer Operator

* Facilities Manager

* Chauffer

* Psychologist

* Laundry Machine Operator

* Janitor

* CEO

It makes you wonder....

What I could do with all that money!
