This doesnt take into consideration the things that we mothers do everyday that are priceless, though. There is no job title or pay for the little things we do for our kids: Like teaching them to tie shoelaces and cleaning up 15 spills a day. Like watching their favorite movie over and over and over with them because they love it. Like having having their favorite blanky clean and warm right of the dryer when its bedtime. Things like that. These things are priceless to our kids. And our rewards are priceless, too. Becuase no one adores us like those little guys/girls.
