Parenting is hard work, and it’s largely thankless. Unless you count cute homemade cards from your kids as “payment,” no mom gets payment for their years of round-the-clock, stressful work. But every year, Salary.com estimates what moms would earn if parenting did pay like a “real” job.
The website made a list of all the “hybrid roles” that moms play, including executive housekeeper, bookkeeper, and teacher. They combined current salary information for all of these many roles to calculate a medium “salary” for moms.
This year, they came up with a salary of $162,581.
Whew! Salary.com thinks moms should be rich?! You know what, yes – moms should be rich.
While it is extremely unlikely that moms will ever actually get paid a salary, let alone a salary this high, it’s a useful thought experiment. The surprisingly high number demonstrates just how much work moms do – they work a million jobs at once. And that, really, is the whole point.
“We would like to recognize both professional and stay-at-home Moms on their unwavering dedication to their families and responsibilities,” the website wrote.
