Mother’s day stimulus package

Moms are also facility managers, housekeepers, cooks, teachers ...
A great idea from Salary.com just in time for Mother’s Day.
Use its new Mom Salary Wizard to create your own “mom paycheck.”
The tool allows moms and their families to price the “mom job,” based on location and mom’s personal hours worked in each of the 10 roles.
You can see what you are worth, print up a check and show your family on Mother’s Day. That may make them feel a bit lame about the saggy old flowers.
Salary.com calculated most moms would earn around $100,000 or so if they were paid real money. It included jobs like facilities manager, computer operator, truck driver, child care worker, cook, housekeeper, psychologist and CEO.
Other jobs we should add?
Try career guidance counselor, chief negotiator, matchmaker, friendship fosterer (remember all those playdates), lactation consultant, toddler tamer, sports manager (all those trips organizing the soccer team), administrative assistant, interior decorator, budget advisor, life time partner, accountant, lugger (of groceries, furniture, babies) and Queen of all.
