the census bureau, and salary.com.

i found this in the local paper today, and granted, its in the dear abbey section, i found the information she gave was very interesting and pertained to a lot of questions in another thread.

"According to the Census Bureau figures for 2004 — which are the most recent — there are 36.7 million mothers of minor children in the United States. About one-third of them, 10.8 million, are stay-at-home moms.

According to an article penned by Al Neuharth, the founder of USA Today, in its May 11, 2006, edition, “Salary.com compensation experts estimate that stay-at-home moms work an average of 91.6 hours a week.” That's more than double the number of hours the average office worker puts in. He went on to say, “That should be worth $134,121 annually.”

He quoted the compensation analysts as figuring the lowest-paying parts of a mother's job are “housekeeper, laundry machine operator and janitor. Higher-paying categories include computer operator, facilities manager, psychologist and CEO.” With a 91.6-hour work week, 52 weeks a year, it works out to be $28.16 an hour."

How can I be eligible if I am not paying childcare?

But the fact that one parent works nights doesn't mean the family doesn't need childcare.

Well if her DH worked then she is entitled to his SS. I am not sure what her work status has to do with it. YOU are entitled to your DH SS your work status has nothing to do with that either. Why would it?

Ahhh...then we might be dealing with a shallow person. I understand what you mean now. People like that are so annoying. I wouldnt call my SUV a *cool* car either. Just what I like.
