While I appreciate the point of demonstrating how much labor stay-at-home mothers do, I agree that it's ingenuine to imply only stay-at-home parents have to do all that, as if working parents don't work all day and *then* come home to a pile of laundry that isn'tgoing to wash itself.

I also think it's important to remember that people who don't have kids and empty nesters still have to do laundry and cook and wash dishes and clean the bathroom... Obviously folks with kids at home have to do more of that (unless the kids are old enough to be put to work) but it's not like all the household labor counts as stay-at-home parent work when they'd still be doing some of it even if they didn't have kids.

I have no problem with some kind of stipend for parents or a universal basic income that gets higher depending on how many kids you have. That said, not only would you have to subtract the time spent taking care of your own ass and your home in general from the equation, but I agree with the people suggesting the number gets inflated by either claiming the wages of trained professionals when parents don't all have the same training or equivalent skill, or claiming multiple full-time wages at once.

It would be great if day care workers got paid more while the cost to families were cheaper, though, and also teachers got paid more.
