Amy says, "I love being a housewife and a mom. Providing a beautiful, loving home environment for my husband and two small children brings me joy. But sometimes my husband makes me feel guilty about spending his" money (as he puts it). He doesn't seem to value all that I do for him and our family. And isn't it supposed to be our money?Homemakers are often undervalued, by both society and their spouses. The unpaid work that homemakers perform daily is priceless. It is wrong to make stay-at-home moms and dads feel that they are not entitled to fulfill their dreams because they do not earn the household money. It's unfortunate that we Family Self Defence Review put more value on material things than we do on the family. Regrettably, our society doesn't place a high dollar value on a homemaker's work, but a loving spouse should.

Between taking the kids to school and picking them up, driving them to soccer practice and dance lessons, doing the laundry and grocery shopping, cooking dinner, making lunches, and keeping the house clean, homemakers work as hard as anyone in the "official" workforce. In 2006, compensation experts at Salary.com released a report on the value of the work done by stay-at-home moms, as well as that done by working mothers once they get home from their "real jobs":Salary.com consulted with Stay at Home and Working Moms and determined the top 10 jobs that make up a mom's job description. If paid, Stay at Home Moms would earn $134,121 annually (up from 2005's salary of $131,471). Working Moms would earn $85,876 annually for the "mom job" portion of their work, in addition to their actual "work job" salary.

Many homemakers are frustrated because they feel that they are not appreciated for the amount of work they do-neither by their own spouse nor by society. Here is a short letter from one of these frustrated moms who feels underappreciated despite the fact that she is doing the world's hardest job:Why are homemakers so undervalued? My husband complains about my being a stay-at-home mom. He doesn't understand that I work just as hard as he does. I refuse to put my kids in daycare or have a relative take care of them. I didn't have my children to let someone else raise them. I want to raise my own children. My own husband sometimes says hurtful thing like how I am a financial drain on our family. He will even complain that the house isn't always spotless even though he never lifts a finger to help. It is really hard being a homemaker, especially without the support of my husband. I am often made to feel guilty when I want some time to myself; he expects me to stay busy every waking moment to make up for the fact that I don't bring home a paycheque. Am I not entitled to some downtime? Just because I'm a non-income-earner doesn't mean I don't contribute to the family-I do everything, except bring home the bacon.

We must recognize that most homemakers carry a heavy load of work and responsibility. They work long hours, and we must give them the respect they deserve. Spouses need to realize and appreciate that they provide real economic value.The homemaker wears many hats: child-care worker, housekeeper, cook, bookkeeper, chauffeur, nurse. Many work seven days a week, 12 to 14 hours a day, and they don't get paid for it. They get no health insurance, no sick days, no paid vacation. And many do it without complaint because they believe that the true value of raising their own children is priceless.As part of your financial planning, it is important for you to discuss how you each feel about this issue. If you are planning to have children, will one of you stay home with them? Planning ahead and coming to an agreement on your values and how you could handle living on one income may save you frustration and problems in the future.
