Check this out:

Paycheck for Mom's job

The article takes a look at how much full-time Moms theoretically should be earning salary-wise for their work, taking typical overtime into account as well as the various necessary skills. They come up with around $100,000-$140,000 a year. :-)

Found at the Spiegel article about the article: here

Stephi, Mom, full-time Moms everywhere, I salute you. You are totally underestimated by our culture, and you have the inner strength to choose to go against the flow.

you do have to remember that no one actually gets paid what they are worth....

Yes of course - money isn't the objective value of a job ... also I noticed the whole "working Mom" thing in there, as well - who should be earning $80,000 more than they do. So of course don't go to the other extreme and place full-time Moms *above* other jobs.

But still I thought it a great article, mainly because I think our culture goes to the extreme of completely looking down on Moms.
