Lotta money in that.
Yes, it beats the woman liberation effort where a career woman is better than one who stays @ home and take care of kids. How many career women do we know that make over $138k a year?
In addition, raising kids at home has a lot more value. Of course, there are those who have to work to keep the family survive which is a diff story. However, I know of two parent incomes where both make so much money that they put their kids in child care when they don't need to.
Honestly, moms are worth more than any $$$ amount. I have been blessed with an amazing mother, and she has really led me through life and taught me some of the most foundational principles to live on. There can't be any monetary value placed on mothers, in my opinion.
But 138 thousand dollars a year isn't bad, anyways. :D
