can't put a price on it.

Scientists and researchers have come up with a "salary" for mothers. This is what they say, according to their "studies:" This year, a stay-at-home mom performing the 10 most popular "mom-job functions" does the work equivalent of a $122,732 salary, up 5 percent over last year's calculations. A mom who works outside the home 40 hours a week does work that equates to an annual cash compensation of $76,184, an 11 percent increase. A lucrative second job--if that second shift were actually a paid gig.
Ummmm, you cannot put a price on carrying a child to term or going through the cost and time to adopt one, finding a gyno, a hospital, a doctor for the newborn, pushing an average 7 pound bowling ball out of your yoohoo (8.9 lbs over here, thank you very much Alec) or being cut open to have one delivered from your tummy, caring for a baby, nursing, feeding, spitting up, late nights with no sleep and so on and so forth....and that's not EVEN counting the terrible 3's (as they are now called and I'd have to agree) OR teens....sorry guys, you cannot put a price on being a mother. All in all, you are needed, loved, appreciated and adored so enjoy your day dedicated to YOU!

Happy Mother's Day!
