Two years ago on mothers day in church I think my grandmother said it best "although I never went to college I am, a doctor, a nurse, a friend, a counsler, a playmate, a cook, a lawyer, a bank, a teacher, a cleaner, a singer, an alarm clock, a chofer, a clown, a party planner, a referee, and many other things that I will forget, all because I became the best thing that any woman can be I am a mother" That is from memory there were more things that she said but I will never forget that, if I ever feel like I could have been so much more, the most important thing I ever did was give birth. As for the pay its better than any money I could ever make, having my boys hug and kiss me good night and tell me they love me.

I change diapers, make bottles, feed the baby, take baby out in the carriage, give baby his bath, play with baby, entertain cranky baby while he is teething, walk the floors with him half the night when he just wants to be held.
For my older son I try to be there for all of his girlfriend problems, talk to him about becoming a responsible adult, bail him out of jail two times, spend quality time with him.
Then there are all those fun things I get to do for my husband like cooking, shopping, cleaning the house, doing the laundry and going out in the backyard and scooping up the dog poop from the pitbull he got me even though I wanted a teacup yorkie.
Before I had this baby I worked full time for a lawyer and got dressed up every day. Now there are days that I can't get in the shower untill 2:00. I am also taking care of my mom who had a stroke and my dad with altzheimers and going back and forth to their house.
Yes, this is a job but I would not know what to expect for compensation.

Ethical and legal guidelines in the corporate world can be brutal when they are violated. It is totally inappropriate to have those sorts of discussions in the work place. That is not what he is being paid for. I would think that any woman of decent upbringing and of decent morals would be offended by such behaviour and from where I'm sitting, he was in the wrong. You are right to feel upset by his immaturity. The whole scenario seems to suggest a blatant disrespect for women. Someday some guy is going to talk that way about this daughter and maybe then the light will come on for him. If he gets angry with you about this, he is wrong again. He should be angry with himself and this situation is an opportunity for him to learn his lesson. Your 'selfishness' is totally justified.

Well Things I do as a mother are laundry, ironing, dishes, cooking (Homemade Healthy), bandaging cuts and scrapes, up all night when there sick comforting and doctoring on them, bathing- washing hair, doing hair. Cutting my boys hair, cleaning the house daily, reading, playing school, taking them out for fun for the day, I do not consider it a job. I love doing these things for my kids, they didn't ask to be here so I believe it is my job as there mother who loves them to raise them the best I can and keep them safe and teach them respect and to be self sufficient. I couldn't put a price on what I do and wouldn't want to be compensated for it. My children growing and happy and starting to help with my daily chores is pay enough. To me it shows I am doing something right. The Top Five things I do as a Mother are 1)Most Important is be there to listen to my children& love them 2) teach them about respect, honesty, and understanding, 3) Cooking them healthy meals 4) reading to them on a regular basis, 5) keeping them and our home clean

1) Love them
2) Support them
3) Encourage them
4) Keep them safe
5) Keep them happy
Yes it is a full-time job, but I wouldn't want to get paid for doing it. Seeing their beautiful smiles is payment enough.

You have to love your children, give them support, give them each 1 on 1 time. You also have to teach them things, give them advice. Cook, clean, care for, get children up and to bed, buy them clothes, buy them food, take them to the movies, out to eat, to play places etc. Take them to the beach, pool etc. Its a hard job that I love. It is deffinatly a job.
As far as pay....
1-2 children... $40 a hour
3-5 children... $80 an hour
5 or more children $100 an hour.
that would be mommy pay

For me It take two people to make a great parents and Agree what best for the children. the more love we do and the more we share love with our children.
both agree how it make this marriage and how to make best parents. It never be mother job or father job it both. That what I see.
