Stay-at-Home Moms Work 2x as Hard as Dads
New survey claims stay-at-home moms do double the work of stay-at-home dads.
According to Salary.com's annual Dad Salary Survey, Mr. Moms work an average of 52.9 hours a week. If parenting came with a paycheck, these dads would be bringing home the bacon to the tune of $60,128 a year.
That's chump change compared to their female counterparts, who spend almost twice as much time (96.6 hours/week) caring for their kids, which, in a perfect world, would net them an annual salary of $115,432.
James Rohl, a stay-at-home dad himself and popular parenting blogger, doesn't buy it:
"I believe, on average, stay-at-home dads see working moms as a valued partner and so dads only count the hours they are alone with their kids. But on average, stay-at-home moms count all the time they're with the kids no matter who's there. Even if their husbands are home, the idea is moms are still working and on the job. I don't think that accurately reflects what's really happening."
What do you think? Are dads just modest? Or are they stay-at-home slackers?
