the single parents i know all rely on the help of relatives and whatnot to offset the costs of daycare and do all cooking and housework themselves... they can't afford to hire someone to cook their meals. im talking more about a middle class family where the working parent makes a healthy salary while the other parent maintains a certain standard of living (home cooked meals, not fast food, real personal supervision, not a day care) im sure that data is in their study, im just curious what it is. ive never hired a cooking or cleaning service, so i have no clue what that costs
The data in their study is nothing more than the average salaries of the various positions. It's a press-release they do every year to get their name out there.
That is correct. I am a world-class procrastinator, so I know. I've been unable to find anyone willing to pay me a damn thing for my finely honed skills.

I imagine you would be in the 'red' with a professional drinker as you might incur additional expenses. Personally, I am wondering what the going salary for a procrastinator is?
just let me crunch the numbers for you... but i cant do it until tomorrow...

i know, im just wondering what that number is minus the ceo/shrink part. or if there is a link to their actual data.

Without hijacking, on the subject of "deadbeat dads", in Australia the current " not the real father anyway" rate for men paying child support is 20% of those tested.
I'm not a fan of DNA tests, they destroy any possible relaitonship a father and child has, and do not replace it with one from the real father.
They do tell us a lot, however, about teh extent of our social problems, and that bad behaviour is not exclusive to men !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In that wages figue, did they by asny chance take out her business expenses, rent, shoe allowance, make-up, every cup of coffe smoeone made her etce tecet c

Sad...................... cos out the back is some sad faced little kid wondering just who they are WTF is going on. What chance of a balanced upbringing there. Imagne the 21st party...............................oh yeah and remember the time you were on TV, hahahah, remember they couldn't find your father, hahahahah, tried ten different blokes, and then everyone knew your mother was a whore, never need to wonder. What a proud moment.
Fuck me, do you think we have even begun to drink from that cup ?????????????????
"Priceless" is actually the operative word here. This article hinges entirely on Marxian economics and its Labor Theory of Value. And that theory is, well, stupid
weren't you saying motherhood/parenting has no monetary labor value? then how does life have a price tag if motherhood doesn't?
Of course there is. What did you pay for your food today?
taken out of context....life is priceless...no monetary figure equates to it.

per child works here too...shoot ill even take it in american....
You ain't-never seen no one like me
Prevail-regardless what the cost might be
Power-flows inside of me, you can't bring me
Never-fall as long as I try
Refuse-to be a part of your lie
Even-if it means I die, you can't bring me
You...can't...bring...me...down!

This is hysterical. If it had been presented this way, no one would have
done it!!!!
POSITION :
Mother, Mom, Mama, Mommy, Momma, Ma
JOB DESCRIPTION:
Long term, team players needed, for challenging permanent work in an,
often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities.
Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
The rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily,
until someone needs $5. Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also,
must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from
zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from
the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be willing to face
stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair,
mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. Must screen phone calls,
maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of
all ages and mental outlooks. Must be willing to be indispensable one
minute, an embarrassment the next. Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated
devices. Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Must
assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product.
Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work
throughout the facility.
POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT &PROMOTION:
Virtually none. Your job is to remain in the same position for years,
without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so
that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE :
None required unfortunately. On-the-job training offered on a continually
exhausting basis.
WAGES AND COMPENSATION :
Get this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon
payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college
will help them become financially independent. When you die, you give them
whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is
that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.
BENEFITS :
While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement,
no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies
limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs for life if you
play your cards right.

but seriously, as long as there are economic benefits (like my husband making lots o money) to watching those little shits all day every day, sure i'll be a stay at home mom
i feel the same. if i marry a corporate ceo one day i have no qualms being mr. mom. i love kids. and im a bit anal so keeping the house clean would be cool with me. it's the cooking i struggle with...
If the child she raises grows up and ends up making say 2 million a year, it's fair to say that the mother is partly responsible for that since it was her who raised the kid. so the mother is worth the amount the child earns per year.
But then if the mom is a dead beat yet the child still grows up to make 2 million a year, can the mother still take credit for it?

well duh, that goes without saying
while i'm sure being a stay at home mom is very rewarding, i'm not interested in doing it unless i'm actually getting $158,809 a year for it.

the other foot in the gutter
sweet smell that they adore
I think I'd rather smother
-The Replacements-
personally i think that should be PER child.
the same as a stay at home mum.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
