True, very true :) … I don’t think we would change the way we did things, but it’s alway fun to play with the numbers… Actually, I was kind of surprised when I calculated the total, I knew it would be high, but not that high…

Why? B/c a house parent’s work at home is valued at around $100,000 a year!

You only lose half a million if you actually pay your wife the DIFFERENCE! Shhhh, don’t let her read my comment. She’ll want that raise!

But then I never regretted anything, I can spend more time with my kid, watch her grow and at the same time earn a living. It would really depend on someone perception of what kind of life they want for their kids, growing up having a good life or growing up spending vacation anywhere they want to, buy anything they desire…but missing the growing part of their kids….just my opinion…

But it shocked me seeing how much gross income she would have made if she stayed at work.

I definitely understand the get rich slowly mantra out there…

My sister is having a baby, but she’s only taking off 2 weeks. Her decision to do so made me wonder how much income we lost in the last 10 years.

But, as you know you wouldn’t really have that amount after you deduct child care expenses if your wife were working.
