According to recent research, carried out by Legal & General Insurance, mums are actually worth more than dads - their research concluded that d
Families are different though, take mine for example, my husband does just as much as me, he is the main cook and often can be found with a hoover in his hands, but then we both do work full-time jobs. So we are a team and what I like to say is, we have equal value.
But, I work from home, thus, I am home more than my husband. And what this means is, I get used as a chauffeur service for my teenagers trips to the gym, I take my youngest son swimming lessons, running errands back and forth, school drop offs, and then the house- I clean the bathrooms, the washing is non-stop as well as everything else running a family home brings you.I probably have a slight unfair advantage,I love that I work from home and feel extremely lucky to be in this position, I am able to do things for my children at the drop of a hat (most of the time) and just be there for a cuddle when they need one.
But then there are the disadvantages, where my husband finishes work at 5 and he comes home and has a work free evening. I don't switch off (one of the disadvantages of working from home, is not always able to just switch off), I continue to work in the evening - so am I being modest, do I do more than my hubby - just don't tell him I said that.
The point is, I value how hard he works as a hubby and as a dad, as well as his demanding job, and I know he values me with the same high esteem. But, of course, the value of a mom (not forgetting the dad) is worth so much more than just money.
