Study says SAHM worth 117K

[YYOL]

Just in case you ever said; "I'm JUST a Mom."

If Mom drew a paycheck

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON --

If a stay-at-home mom could be compensated in dollars rather than personal satisfaction and unconditional love, she'd rake in a nifty sum of nearly $117,000 a year.
That's according to a pre-Mother's Day study released Thursday by Salary.com, a Waltham, Mass.-based firm that studies workplace compensation.
The eighth annual survey calculated a mom's market value by studying pay levels for 10 job titles with duties that a typical mom performs, ranging from housekeeper and day care center teacher to van driver, psychologist and chief executive officer.
This year, the annual salary for a stay-at-home mom would be $116,805, while a working mom who also juggles an outside job would get $68,405 for her motherly duties.

So now, that we've cleared that up; time to give yourself a YEAH YEAH Out Loud!

May. 14, 2008 at 5:46 PM lol i'll take mine in small bills, so i can roll in my dough. and possibly set a few singles ablaze since i'm now rich. oh! and do we get retroactive pay? cause, while i havent been a SAHM the whole time, I have been a mommy for 4 years now...so, 116,805 for 1 full year, and another 58,402 for the other 6 months of being a SAHM, plus the 171,012 (you'd better believe im working this out on a calculator, lol.) means i should be entitled to a total of 346,219. i want it all. thanks. :)
