According to that survey, stay-at-home moms should earn up to about $160k - just over R2-million a year.
It's impossible to put a price on all the things that mothers do for their families.When I was about 10 years old, an older cousin donated her sticker collection to me. My favourite was a button sticker of a sassy stick-figure female leaning over a desk with the words:"Used to be it was a man's world and a woman's place was in the home - they can kiss that sh*t goodbye."
At the beginning of the year, American company Salary.com did a survey that calculated what the average remuneration would be for a SAHM, based on a reported average of work hours across the week, adding up to 96 hours. According to that survey, SAHMs should earn up to about $160k - just over R2-million a year.
For many people, the notion of paying mothers to do the job they have always been expected to do is preposterous "Taking care of your kids isn't a 'job', it should be considered a privilege or a gift and no price tag or salary can be put on that," one person wrote in answer to the survey."It's absurd to even try to compare."
