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."

It's the IRS.

It's because you don't have anything to deduct it from.

You don't have an income to deduct this credit from.

i have never thought about what message i am sending when i get dressed each morning - in fact i wasnt even aware i was sending a message, here i thought i was just getting dressed - but it is something i will think about. but enough incorrect assumptions on my part have proven to me that i can not judge people by the clothes they are wearing. i keep seeing all this talk about expensive clothes i really wouldnt know the difference between an armani suit and a penneys suit - i guess clothes are just not my thing.

It's not optional if both parents work.

Because you don't work or go to school.
