[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.
You’re broke cause you don’t have a disgruntled employee at home working 24 7[/quote]
How much do you think you would have to pay a woman of your wife’s caliber to bear and raise your children? If your wife is/was the one responsible for educating them (and I’d still like to hear how you’ve managed to homeschool with both parents working full-time outside of the home), how much would that be worth? How about your child’s character development? Who watches the kids when you have to work? What if you have to travel regularly? And how much would you have to pay a personal assistant to manage all of the daily tasks in your household (bill paying, some maintenance, cleaning, laundry, shopping, etc.)? How much would it cost to have someone to tend to your needs 24/7? Do you think someone should do this for free? If so, why?
I’d also love to hear your wife’s input on this if she’d be willing to participate in this discussion.
