Some are, some aren't. If I were to list them, the number of unrewarding tasks would exceed the number of rewarding tasks. But the qualitative value of the rewarding tasks would outweigh that of the unrewarding ones.

Just a thought. Show Me a parent who demands to be rewarded for being a parent and I will show You someone who could be doing a better job of it.
Not just Mothers raise a family. There is a little know and much neglected sub-branch of Our society called "The Single Father". Ever heard of them? Most find even less support from government instrumentalities than Women. Few are considered to be doing the same job as a women. And most are decent, hard working Men who live for Their children without the patronage that is bestowed upon their opposite numbers. A Single Male Parent is rewarded just the same as any other parent. Love, Hugs, And Kisses. And at the end of another tiring day the simple knowledge that You have done the best that You can for Your Family.
As I said, just a thought.

I have three girls...and while some of the tasks I perform have and instant reward....that melt my heart.......like the big hugs and kisses....the mommy your the best in the whole world.....but I have to say most of them have little reward or none at all in the moment you are doing them......but I didn't become a mother to have my self worth linked to my children......and when doing these sometimes unrewarding tasks....I am giving to my children......giving doesn't always get rewarded......and I remember I am doing them to raise independent well adjusted human beings....and my reward may come much later when I see them being able to live as independent well adjusted adults....but I agree with KA I think the reward may have been financial....as there is definitely no financial reward for being a mother.....

If you don't want to do them, no they're not. But for the millions and millions of us who love being moms the tasks are very rewarding.
What's NOT rewarding about helping bring (hopefully good and productive) humans into the world, and raising them to adulthood?
Wonder if that stupid gypsy thinks Einstein's mother felt unrewarded?

They are menial in some cases, and definitely repetative, but now that my children are in their 20's, I cannot say that the tasks to successfully raise them to productive adults were not rewarding.

The tasks are not always rewarding...the results and the grandchildren are.

At one point in my long and checkered life, I worked as a file clerk, wiping baby poo was way more rewarding.
At least for a while things were clean.
And I got a smile.

Maybe she wouldn't find them personally rewarding. I know I wouldn't. I was around to hear my brother's first words, I prepared food for him, I helped him get dressed, I entertained him, and I helped him do his homework. And I didn't enjoy any of it.

What she probably meant by that was that they're invisible, unpaid, and taken for granted.
