What is a Mother Worth in Cash?

Is there enough money to pay a woman for all the hats she wears while raising a family?

Today many women have to work along their husbands to sustain all of their home and family expenses.  But for those stay at home mothers there is no monetary amount that can even come close to all the shoes she wears through the day by being a stay at home mom.

Here is just a small list I have put together of some of the responsibilities and jobs she carries throughout the years on a daily bases.

She is a:

nurse

a taxi driver

a dishwasher

a housekeeper

 a maid

the dry cleaner

the cook

the nurturer

the tooth fairy

the elf

the wife

the lover

the caretaker

the laundry lady

the butler

the electrician

the carpenter

the grocery shopper

the cleaning lady

the shoe shiner

the hugger

the love giver

the singer

the maintenance worker

the veterinarian

the dietitian

the secretary

the bookkeeper

the gardener

the writer

the doctor on call 24-7

the problem solver

the interior decorator

sometimes the mechanic

the cheerleader

the child bearer

and of course she fulfills her role as a mother, in which she gives constantly from the heart never expecting anything in return but she does appreciate a hug or a thank you once in a while.

$7.50 an hour times 24 hours = $180.00

$180.00 times 7 days a week=$1,260.00

$1,260.00 times 52 weeks a year=$65,520.00

$65,520.00 dollars times 18 years of caring=$1,179,360.00

$1,179,360.00 times each of my 37 jobs listed=

$43,636,320.00

This is the total cash amount she has earned for 18 years of her loyal services at minimum wage while raising her children and serving as a wife.  Her hard working soul gives unconditionally as she works hard to be the greatest Mom ever.

 

Thank you to all the Mothers in the world for your devotion and your loving heart. Your job is worth so much more for all that you do.
