The typical mother puts in a 92-hour work week, the company concluded, and works at least 10 jobs. In order of hours spent on them per week, these are: housekeeper, day-care center teacher, cook, computer operator, laundry machine operator, janitor, facilities manager, van driver, chief executive officer and psychologist. By figuring out the median salaries for each position, and calculating the average number of hours worked at each, the firm came up with $138,095 -- three percent higher than last year's results.
Even mothers who work full-time jobs outside the home put in $85,939 worth of work as mothers, according to Salary.com.

Wow! No wonder we're so tired! It makes me think too about how I took for granted all the things that our mom did for us.
WOW! Sometimes I wish our hubbies would realize how much we work and why when they get home late at night, we're so exhausted from ALL we do. That's not saying they don't do a lot, because they do. I think they sometimes think being a stay at home is a cake walk, when it's far from it. It's still the most rewarding job.
