@TLK

So yahoo put this article on their website and estimated that a homemaker is worth about $96K, because of the services he/she provides (Private Chef, House Cleaner .. etc)

What I fail to understand is that when we all get into analyzing the households from business perspective, and make a homemaker look like the one who is getting unfair end of the deal, why we dont calculate into the wager that they live in a house for free (we should reduce the rent from their estimated pay) and eat for free (grocery for free), bath/blow dry/ for free (do not pay utility bills), drive the car for their needs too (no car payments), dont pay for their medical bills (assuming that they are covered under the insurance of the breadwinner) and all the other good stuff.

When will we stop the drama that homemaker (AKA Aurat) bohut mazloom hoti hai. I think that its a fair deal if nothing else, if hubby works and wife takes care of the domestic chores and not getting paid for that.

In this article they are talking about how much everyone is worth not about expenditure. You make money you get paid but you have your expenditure, homemakers have wear and tear too and we have to deal with it. From business point of view I am not impressed and from Islamic point of view, only ladies job is to take care of their kids not do all house hold works.
