I think a really good mom is worth a helluva lot more than that: a good mom is PRICELESS.
But too many mothers today put their 'career' before their children (as do too many fathers).
So moms want to work because they have to "help support the family". If she earns an extra $400 bucks a week, she nets about $320. She spends $120 a week for child care; $50 a week for eating out; $50 a week for clothes and hair care; $50 a week for car expenses; $50 a week for laundry and dry cleaning; $50 a week for convenience food she picks up for her family's dinner; $50 a week for parking, tolls, and an occasional speeding ticket; $50 a week for meeting the 'girls' for a drink after work; and $50 a week for having her nails done, her legs waxed or her ears pierced. Looks to me like she (or her hubby) would have been better off to stay home and raise the children! -RKO-

Iam wondering where they found this one mom, cause the only ones I've seen are worth maybe $6.00 and day, they don't know how to clean, do dishes, fix a healthy breakfast, lunch or dinner, drive like maniacs, spend to much money, complain to much and couldn't give personnel advice on anything worth listening to.

don't you know that moms are priceless? and another thing, depreciation value, when a beauty queen has 5 kids, her value as a model is declined, if she is not doing a job correctly like never scolding her children, for bad behavior, or lying on the couch eating Bon-bons, that would be next to nothing in value.

I think it would be cheaper for a guy to marry then to pay for all the services, which would of course be all the wrong reasons.
