In honor of all the hard working mothers out there, I thought I would post the beginning of an article that my husband sent me this week. At least this gives us a little recognition!
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.

Too bad we aren't getting paid for this job! Oh well, I'll gladly do it for free...and of course, my reward is in heaven (as if my kids aren't enough reward on their own).

You know - if we DID get paid that; we'd just spend it on our kids :)
