Take away the cleaning and my high priced sex, I am near as good of a SAHP as there is. WIth 3 kids, I am worth no more than the 30k including What vegetables I grow for seasonal eating and putting up because I do that on a pretty large scale, more than most working parents could do. The vegetable growing is a very low paying job on an hourly basis so it isn’t much. I do car repairs and take care of 20 acres in a pretty minimal fashion….keep a safe fire zone.[/quote]
Russ – you need to market yourself better. You aren’t just veggie gardening and maintaining 20 acres – you’re “managing the family business”. That’s worth more, even if it’s the same work.
