She’s worth so much more to me

Paul Spears, writing for The Scriptorium, discussed an interesting Reuters study about Stay-at-home mom’s. In the study, they found that in order to accurately compensate this special class of mother’s we’d have to pay them $138,095 a year. That’s a lot of money! I don’t even make that. It sounds like I’m getting a pretty good deal with Deanna.
Once you begin to think about the variety of skills and managerial tasks a mother must do in a typical day, you begin to understand.
- accounting
- discipline
- schedule management
- maintain order, (kids, stuff, pets)
- nursing/triage
- and list goes on and on…
This list just gets you thinking, there is so much more. I know that I simply don’t have what it takes to fulfill such a high calling. You should read the article, it’s a good read.

So with us paying our wives. Now we can make them pay half the bills.

Sounds like a Proverbs 31:10-30 lady to me.
