A stay-at-home mom’s life seems, to those mired knee-deep in corporate drudgery, like a dream life, perhaps, but a recent study illustrates it isn’t all hugs and PB & J sandwiches on the couch watching Teen Titans on Cartoon Network.

According to the study, in order to replicate the services provided by the typical SAHM, you’d need to pay said SAHM $138,095. That’s for a stunning 91 hour work week, including such diverse job responsibilities as those commonly held by CEOs, chauffeurs, psychiatrists, and cleaning services.

But remember, a SAHM (or SAHD) doesn’t get paid in money - only in intangibles (although as a mom, I have to admit those are some pretty sweet intangibles).

Or you could do what I did, and start a home-based office. Then you get the best (and worst) of both worlds!
