Tribute to MothersHow much is a mother worth? A night out on
the town? A bouquet of flowers? A decoratedcake or dinner out?
Moms. We love them and for good reason.After all, they brought us into the world, raisedus, taught us right from wrong and supported usin just about everything we’ve ever done. Whetherit happened to be biological or adopted, it doesn’tmatter. We owe our mothers everything.
It’s time to review. The 13th annual report fromSalary.com is now available after more than 6,000mothers were recently surveyed to find out whatthere most time-consuming jobs are and what theyshould be compensated to complete those jobs.
A stay-at-home mom usually juggles up to 94 hours aweek. So based on 54 hours of overtime, she should bemaking an annual salary of a whopping $113,568. Thisincluded the tasks of housekeeping, cook, day careteacher, janitor, psychologist, facilities manager, chauffer,laundry and CEO.
If the mother works outside the home, her meagersalary is only $67,436 for the same duties. An averageworking mother will have approximately 58 hours ofwork at home each week.
First of all, as a mother and grandmother, I’d like tosay even though I don’t get paid for the “home work,” Iwouldn’t trade any of those duties for any amount ofmoney. My family is the reason I do what I do. It isn’tabout money.
It’s all about the kisses and hugs I get when I bakethem cookies after a 12-hour day at the office. It’s allabout the excitement they show when I take them to anevent. When they are sleeping and there are no moreideas of trashing my house or begging for a sugar snackor getting clothes dirty for the 16th time, their innocentfaces make me believe it’s all worth the responsibility.
So if I can help make that job a little bit easier by pro-viding previews or announcements of places to go,things to do, or people to see then it’s worth my over-time hours poured into this issue. In tribute to all themothers out there...enjoy
And have a Happy Mother’s Day! You really AREappreciated.
