The Catptains Response: How Much salary should a Mom Earn?

This article was emailed to me last week, but out of respect for my MOM, I let a week go by before ranting and raving about this topic.

Salary.com – one of my favorite websites, had the audacity to say that a Stay At Home Mom’s salary should be $123,000.00 per year, and a working mom’s salary should be $76,185.

Are you kidding me??? For what. Is she creating a cure for cancer in the bathroom? Is that why it takes her so freakin’ long to get ready.

I couldn’t find the author of the article, but if it’s a guy:
ASK YOUR GIRLFRIEND OR WIFE, IF YOU CAN LOOK IN HER POCKET BOOK. OPEN IT SLOWLY, AS TO NOT DISTURB THE CONTENTS. DO YOU SEE THOSE ROUND THINGS SITTING IN THERE?

THOSE ARE YOUR BALLS

TAKE THEM BACK!!!!

There are some major issues with this article. First of all, most men or women for that matter do not make $123,000 per year. Those that do fall into the following categories:

• 
  Physicians - $128, 689
  Medical and Science Teachers $121,230
  Judges – $118,134
  Optometrists – $116,403
  Lawyers – $105,716

I’m going to go out on a limb and assume the average guy isn’t married to a Physician. I know there are exceptions to every rule, but we are going to generalize here. When you look at your girlfriend, do you see the “book smarts” of a power attorney or judge or do you see a bank teller, a barrister, a hair dresser?

For us men, as long as you don’t see something fat and fuglee that’s all we care about!

My 2nd point is the fact that they break down the Mom’s jobs into the following categories:

• 
  Laundry Machine Operator
  Janitor
  Van Driver
  Housekeeper
  Computer Operator
  Cook
  Day Care Center Teacher
  Psychologist
  Facilities manager
  CEO
  

That list is bogus! The only company that I want the women that I date to be CEO of, is the company of “Getting me a Tuna Sandwich” Incorporated. …..and 9 out of 10 will mess that up…..NO CRUST ON MY TUNA…GEEESH!

The other tasks are just things that people have to do to live. Everyone has to do laundry, clean a dish or two, drive themselves to work and make meals. This is called being an adult. It’s called reality. It’s called having children. That doesn’t come with a price tag.

If Men got paid for being Psychologist, we would all be billionaires because when that little alarm went off signifying the end of their session, the women would not be able to stop talking.
