From Salary.com comes this:
Are you wondering what mom should be paid for her work as mom? Salary.com has now valuated the "mom job" of both the Working and Stay at Home Mom! We consulted Stay at Home and Working Moms to determine the top 10 jobs that make up a mom's job description. If paid, Stay at Home Moms would earn $134,121 annually (up from 2005's salary of $131,471). Working Moms would earn $85,876 annually for the "mom job" portion of their work, in addition to their actual "work job" salary. We found the job titles that best matched a mom's definition of her work to be (in order of hours spent per week): housekeeper, day care center teacher, cook, computer operator, laundry machine operator, janitor, facilities manager, van driver, CEO, and psychologist. New job titles that made the list in 2006 include psychologist, laundry machine operator, and computer operator. The job title of nurse fell out of the top 10 this year.Wouldn't the IRS just loooove this? If husbands paid their wives, the government would be able to take even more of his paycheck!

I've tried to explain to a few women my age (40 something) why they shouldn't pressure their daughters to get a job while the children are young if their daughters don't want to! It's not really an economically good move unless the woman has a PhD, and those early years go so fast...it's frightening. The women of my generation often look at me like I've got two heads and am a traitor to "the cause". Whatever!
Luckily, very few of those feminist genes will be passed on to the next generation because they waited to have children until their biological clocks ran down.
By the way, I changed the link on my blogroll from your sales site to your blog, so people can see how those creations came to be.
