How much is a homemaker worth?

Re: How much is a homemaker worth?

I said exactly what a homemaker CAN do. These ‘chores’ can be managed very easily if someone applies time management properly.

Diaper change, wow! Takes two minutes but makeup on the other hand takes minimum 30 minutes before going to dinner !

Not everyday house/bathroom etc needs to be deep cleaned, not everyday food is prepared, not everyday laundry is done. Not everyday blinds need to be cleaned.
Yard and pool work hardly is done by homemakers unless they just want the fun work of growing few flower plants once in a while.

Husband on the other hand works outside 5 days a week and 2 days at home. Changing bulb, taking car to maintenance, doing paper work at home, helping wife at home etc. etc. When does he get a break?

I asked what should be the worth of those homemakers whose husbands provide for maid service, lawn service, nanny and school pick and drop etc. besides doing themselves house chores and helping their wives?

How many husbands are providing for a maid/nanny/lawn/school pickup and dropoff service on this forum right now? I’d like a show of hands.

You sound like you have no idea what you’re talking about which makes this conversation pointless. You’re obviously not equipped to argue this point. The statements above sound like a child’s. Sorry, but its true.

And if this job is sooooooooo easy…why don’t you start helping now? Why don’t you compensate your mother for the easy peasy upbringing you had? After all, according to you delivering and raising a child are simple and we women are just making a big deal out of nothing.

Report back here when you get a chamaat from your mama.

Absolutely.

If both parties understand how hard the other works…its great.

The trouble starts when people assume a woman who is home with her kids is doing nothing.
