[quote=CA renter][quote=scaredyclassic]You taking notes, kev. You’re gonna increase your income by teaming up with a woman who stays at home and calculates how much all the stuff she does for you would go for retail.
Shell get to decide what work needs to be done, can create work or make you do it if she changes her mind. And she can complain endlessly since it’s not valued in the marketplace.

If you were to define what your paid work entailed, would you be labeled a whiner or told that you were “complaining endlessly”? Seems a bit sexist to me when you think that women who detail the work they do are “complaining.”
Do you honestly think that it’s wrong to note that unpaid labor has value, even monetary value? This was only brought up because some other posters were insinuating that unpaid labor had little or no value.
Does your wife complain when she’s working? Do you complain when you have to do housework? Where do you get the notion that SAHPs are disgruntled or complaining endlessly?[/quote]
Society is not better off if our tub is sparkly clean v. It got a quick brushdown.
in general i think regular employees overestimate their value.
yes whiny. if an employee was constantly going off about how they’re not appreciated, id say that’s whiny. appreciation is not really relevant in the workplace except for mgt as a faux money replacement) and valuation of services is not relevant at home. so, whiny.
i dont think anyone said therewas no value to what SAHP does. just that the value is variable and probably way lower than what the doer believes.
