Stay at home moms are not underpaid

Whatever feminists want for women, women get, and whatever feminists don't want for women, men get. Jerry Boggs

"If the typical stay-at-home mother in the United States were paid for her work as a housekeeper, cook and psychologist among other roles, she would earn $138,095 a year, according to research released on Wednesday. This reflected a 3 percent raise from last year's $134,121, according to ****com Inc, Waltham, Massachusetts-based compensation experts. The 10 jobs listed as comprising a mother's work were housekeeper, cook, day care center teacher, laundry machine operator, van driver, facilities manager, janitor, computer operator, chief executive officer and psychologist, it said. The typical mother puts in a 92-hour work week, it said, working 40 hours at base pay and 52 hours overtime."

I purposefully left out the link to the organization that released this story. They wanted publicity and they got it, but I will not contribute.

The above story is typical of American females trying to over inflate their value. They have been told so often, by men as well as women, that because a woman has a vagina she is to be worshiped.

Fifty two hours of overtime! The pleasure of reading a bedtime story to your children is considered overtime! She should pay for the privilege. Many divorced dads would pay for such a privilege. Wait. They do. Its called alimony and child support.

They fail to see how much a mother is paid in psychic income for staying home with her children instead of fighting the rat race of earning a living. They fail to point out how much of her earnings are paid for by none other than a man.

The whole gambit is to make the husband appreciate the little woman and give her even more power. It is designed to make the man work harder to pay for the woman's "market" value. If the husband is not paying the market salary, he is and abusive employer.

What is the typical stay at home mom? Why assume they are all great mothers? How much should the stay at home mom makes who is a lazy drunk? What if the working husband has to do the laundry, dishes, and put the kids to bed? Should the wife pay him for her parasitic existence?
