Stay-At-Home Mom's 'Salary' Rises To $134,121

The cost of paying a stay-at-home mom for all the work she does is on the rise. Salary.com said if they got paid, stay-at-home moms would pull down $134,121 this year -- a raise of $2,650 from last year's theoretical salary. This 'salary' is based on a list of job titles that best matched a stay-at-home mom's definition of the work she does. Among them -- in the order of hours spent per week -- are housekeeper, day-care center teacher and cook.
