But cooking once or twice per day, and cleaning a house and doing laundry, which can be done in the luxury of your own home, and barely take up anytime at all, and can be done whenever you feel like it, and is easy work... is worth $150k?
Nope
So you'll say "But raising kids is a full time job"... yeah it's a full time job, but they're your kids and it was your decision to have them, and raising them is something you actually want to do. It would be different if you were raising someone elses kids/worked as a nanny.
You're obviously biased in your view, as you're a housewife, and you'll want to argue the point... but it's not worth 150k (by any objective measurement with is relative to what other people with jobs that earn them $150k require them to do)

There's many flaws in your argument. Just because you LIKE doing something doesn't take away that it's still WORK. The location of where the work takes place doesn't matter. And I disagree that housework doesn't take any time.
If your housework doesn't take any time, you're doing it wrong.
I clean my wood floors every weekend. That task alone takes me 2 hours.
Washing dishes = 15-30 mins depending on how many you have (I hand wash everything).
Laundry = easily 2 hours
Cleaning bathrooms = easily 2 hours (I have 2)
Cooking = I spend 1-1.5 hours including prep and serving each night. Half hour in the morning making breakfast.
I can go on. But you get the point. Housework isn't something "that doesn't take any time." lol. Uwot?

It's stupid to call it an "allowance" if she's paying the mortgage with it. She's just writing the check so he doesn't have to do it. If I hand you a hundred dollar bill and tell you to go hand it to that guy over there, have I actually given you anything?
I don't think it's weird if their budget includes a reasonable amount of discretionary spending for the wife. Calling that an allowance would just be juvenile. It doesn't matter where the family's money comes from.
That said though, the only childless housewife in my age group I've ever known ended up shooting herself in front of her husband.

Live-in nanny would cover a few other slices of that pie.
Like I said in my very first post, dodgy methodology is dodgy. I'm not disputing that housewives bring value to the home, even moreso when they are providing childcare services. I am disputing the ridiculous figure and sketchy "research" methods that arrived at that number.

A man shouldn't have to kill himself to support his family. People, in general, should live within their means.
......
Consequently, if both parties work, and they have children - they kill 1/3 of their earnings in buying childcare (daycare is expensive AF). So yes, having one partner stay at home doing all the house duties and taking care of kids is a cost savings for the man/working party - and it reaps the benefits of having your kids raised at home in a safe environment where you can maximize teaching.

You also sound like you have some obsessive compulsion issues. I don't know anyone that spends that much time cleaning their bathrooms. Unless you're taking chits on the floor, it's no way it gets that dirty.

I spend maybe 10 minutes a week 'deep' cleaning the bathrooms, and swipe/disinfect the sink + toilet once a day. I have a stupid amount of hair and two cats and am certainly not living in squalor.
How on Earth are you spending 3-4 hours buying groceries? I drive to anotherstatefor groceries and it takes me under 2 hours.

And yea, when I said "housewife" in my initial post - I called out someone who ACTUALLY performs housewife duties and not half-asses chit.
Um, no. Small kids are hand fed. That takes time. They're also bathed by hand and clothed. I'm not talking about water usage here. Lol. I'm talking about the effort to take care of kids and the actual tasks involved.
Let's do an experiment. For all the house chores you do - log your begin time and end time for each thing. For one week, then tally the time. Have your wife do the same. You'll get your total time spent on house chores. It's more than people think.
Again, I work full time and I do house chores. It's easy for me because I've always done it and don't have kids. Even then, I'm completely exhausted around 9 pm each day.

Yes, I do launder the bed sheets once a week (actually I trade them out for new ones and wash the old) and I wash the blankets every two weeks. Towels, once a week. There's been articles written about this stuff - the germs on sheets, etc.
But okay .. I'll leave it at this. Apparently, I live very different than most miscers. lol.

I know a guy that hired a Hispanc live in nanny/house-keeper and if I remember correctly he pays her $300 per week/ $15,600 per year. She didn't have a car so he bought a Toyota Camry for her to drive + pays for insurance + gas. (His car technically but she uses it as she wants). All of her living expenses are covered also in terms of food and stuff like that.
He's a fairly generous guy and gives a $1,500 per year Christmas bonus to her and likely another $1000-1500 or so for her birthday so he's probably coming out to about 20K per year. Its still cheaper then paying for child-care and hiring a cleaning lady to clean his house and do his laundry. + since she lives there he pretty much has 24/7 child care.
Busy guy that runs multiple businesses and doesn't want to run the risk of a wife taking his wealth in a divorce. Cheap price to pay for someone to take care of all the wifely duties aside from sex.

And yea, when I said "housewife" in my initial post - I called out someone who ACTUALLY performs housewife duties and not half-asses chit.
Um, no. Small kids are hand fed. That takes time. They're also bathed by hand and clothed. I'm not talking about water usage here. Lol. I'm talking about the effort to take care of kids and the actual tasks involved.
Let's do an experiment. For all the house chores you do - log your begin time and end time for each thing. For one week, then tally the time. Have your wife do the same. You'll get your total time spent on house chores. It's more than people think.
Again, I work full time and I do house chores. It's easy for me because I've always done it and don't have kids. Even then, I'm completely exhausted around 9 pm each day.
I'll log my time for you and show you. So you don't clean your shower? No scrubbing the tiles in the shower? No cleaning the basin? No cleaning the floors? Dat's gross Jeff.
Yes, I do launder the bed sheets once a week (actually I trade them out for new ones and wash the old) and I wash the blankets every two weeks. Towels, once a week. There's been articles written about this stuff - the germs on sheets, etc.
But okay .. I'll leave it at this. Apparently, I live very different than most miscers. lol.

But srsly, if you live in such a big house that keeping it ***** and spam justifies that amount, you almost certainly have a housemaid and also a pool boy, Esteban, you're probably getting railed by.

Housekeepers in my area (many of our friends have people come clean their homes), hourly wage is starting at $35 an hour.
RR - yea, probably the blanket confusion.
