assuming 'stay at home mom' includes home-schooling,

[/ QUOTE ]

pretty sure this study didn't consider home-schooling part of the job

[/ QUOTE ]

i agree, which is why i placed my original value on this position as being closer to $200k.

most teachers don't get 50k+

[/ QUOTE ]

Most teachers make a lot more than you think, especially if they have any years in and a master's degree. They idea that teachers are poor and underpaid is pretty much a myth spread by teacher's unions. Average nationwide salary for teachers in 2005 was $47K+.

[/ QUOTE ]

a stay-at-home mom providing home-schooling is not a union teacher.

how much do teachers who provide one-to-one training and who love your child make?

point being, as with most things of extreme value, you cannot easily place a price tag on it.

A study by Salay.com about what stay at home moms are worth has been getting some press today. They estimate that it would cost $134k per year to hire someone to be a stay at home mom. You can read the full story here (link). A lot of the assumptions and methods are pretty bad, but the study is probably just done for publicity.

edit: that link describes last year's estimate. this year's estimate is $138k.

Looking for work as a stay at home "mom." No experience. Will settle for a paltry $120k a year.

most married men would not even elect to have children in the first place if their wives didn't talk them into it??

He's overreacting a bit to "most". Does OOT really think that 55% plus of fathers out there didn't WANT to become fathers?


[ QUOTE ]
That wasn't my point though....My point was that were it not for my wife, I would not have had them in the first place

[/ QUOTE ]

Really? Why not?

I had a woman that I loved a damn lot a long time ago. She eventually left me because at that time of my life I wasn't ready to have kids. I figure that what the poster above is trying to say is that for him it was the same choice - either we have kids or I'm gone. He chose the kids.

what the? the value of a stay at home mom is determined by market value and based on the hundreds of ads i see on craiglist new york i can get one for under 60k easily. thus, stay at home moms are worth 60k.
god bless free market capitalism.

[D.L.M.]

That means all single women need to whore themselves as moms to make 134k a year ldo.
