First up, let me explain that we have two children - a 5 year old and a 7 month old.
My hubby and I have a standing argument about the value of mothers. He earns a substantial income (over 100K) and his job requires that he travels out of town for approximately 50% of each month.
When I told my hubby that a survey determined an average stay-at-home mother would earn $131471 annually if she received a paycheck (another survey put this figure at $508700!!), he basically laughed at me, and whenever we discuss our budget he makes snide comments about the fact that I don't earn an income.
My theory is that it is my job is to raise the children and develop them into decent human beings who become good citizens, which is obviously not as easy as it sounds, or there wouldn't be any need for prisons!
