NEW YORK (Reuters) - 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 Salary.com Inc, Waltham, Massachusetts-based compensation experts.

Yay for me! Although I didn't really feel that raise they are talking about!

If you're a homeschooler, not only are you a teacher, but you are probably also a school principal, curriculum specialist, etc.

How fast can you dodge flying cans of food? You must be out of your mind if you think we sit around watching those idiots and just run the Swiffer? I have done puke patrol this week with a 2 year old suffering from the stomach flu. In addition to all my other household chores, AND running a successful business from home, I have done an extra 15 loads of laundry for soiled bed linens, towels, and jammies, poured too many glasses of Sprite to count, and changed my shirts about 25 times in three days from various episodes of throwing up and diahhrea. Graphic, yes, but there is no paycheck big enough to cover what I have done this week, and then my little one, fighting a fever, as she goes to sleep, tells me, "I love you, mommy, you're my best friend." That, my friend, is priceless.:thumbup
