Balancing Marriage and Family

Quote From: bcoceans

Dear Brandyfra,

I read what you wrote and recently I read here in Canada in the papers what a stay at home mom is worth. I had to look online but I found something similar that you may be interested in reading and sharing with your husband. He may have a hard job, however he also has the job for life of being a father. There is no excuse to make you work 24 hours a day because he has had a long day. He should be giving you a break and helping out, and there is no excuse for not helping you in any way with the home and kids.

Here's what I thought you'd be interested in reading:

 

"WHAT MOTHERS ARE REALLY WORTH. Stay-at-home mothers wear many hats. They're the family CEO, the daycare provider, accountant, chauffeur, counselor, chef, nurse, laundress, entertainer, personal stylist, and educator. Based on a 90-hour work week, Salary.com has estimated that a fair wage for the typical stay-at-home mom would be well over $90,000 for executing all of her daily tasks. Factor in overtime, and the appropriate salary takes a leap of around $25,000."

Good luck and take care!

  

Hi my name is Kylee I watch Drphil In Australia. Im not married but have a partner and we have a daughter together. I am A stay at home mum, my partner works and lives at his own address. Although he doesnt live us we both share the responsibility of our daughter.  Being married doestn in my eyes constitute the man being the boss. Marrige should consist of equality. There should be no differencialities between the wife or the husband just because the husband goes to work and the wife stays at home with their child/children. The episode on Australian TV today weas about a married couple Grant and Kelly. Grant wanted his wife to have wife lessons so she would be a better wife around the house. To me Grant was like an army seargant giving orders to his team but it was his wife. I agree that there is no excuse for a husband not sharing the work load in the house. Husband and Wife should be equal and work as one not two seoarate identities. 

Kind Regards from Kylee in Australia
