They don't work 680 hours a week or anywhere close to it

Obviously you haven't been a stay at home mom.

<g>

I would have been double and triple billing

Its quadruple billing if your assuming a 24/7 schedule. If you figure the equivalent of 2 full time jobs its billing 8 and a half times over. Both figures assume none of the work was done for your own benefit, but was all for the spouse. (I suppose you could split work for the children up 50/50 and count half of it towards your billable hours :)

And of course if you are really considering the economic value its determined by supply and demand, not what other people doing similar work are making. As beneficial as the work a stay at home mom does is there wouldn't be a lot of demand for it if the going rate was .5 to 1 million per year.

Of course the non-economic benefits of a good spouse can be priceless, but you would hope that would work both ways...
