Oh Boy, I'm Rich!

Well.... at least in theory. I read an article on cnn.com yesterday, and apparently some company called salary.com did a study and a survey about how much a stay at home mom would earn if they were to compensate the amount of work, considering skills, and the hours. So, according to this, I would be paid guess how much? Try $116,805.00 x 3= $350,415.00!!

Amazing, huh?

According to their survey, typical moms work 94.4 hours a week- meaning more than half the working hours are on overtime. 

A mom with two boys said in her interview, that her "job" as a mother gives her intangible benefits she wouldn't be able to have in the workplace. She says, "The rewards aren't monetary, but it's a reward knowing that they're safe and happy, because it's worth it all."

Yes, I whole-heartily agree- 
Motherhood is a privilege. We have a responsibility to raise God's beloved children to become people who truly love the Lord. And with that comes all the benefits, right? We don't get paid with money, but we certainly get to keep all those valuable memories. Besides, what would I do with all that money anyway??
