I feel like if it was a gig we were actually paid for, more people would respect it. I still get surprised when I hear comments like, "Oh, that's all you do?" I makes me pretty sad, actually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-that-being-a-sah-mom-or-dad-was-a-paid-gig#post-51302 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:51:26 +0000 Andrea 51302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nah, I don't think she owes me money. But she owes me respect. She better be a good kid when she grows up. Hahahahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-that-being-a-sah-mom-or-dad-was-a-paid-gig#post-51283 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:38:58 +0000 heffalump 51283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: sick days would be awesome! I've had a migraine for over a month now, my husband and mom are missing so much work because of it!</p> <p>I'd like the government to pay me, not my kid. Because that would mean I owe my parents a crap load of money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-that-being-a-sah-mom-or-dad-was-a-paid-gig#post-51276 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:32:18 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 51276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That would be wonderful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-that-being-a-sah-mom-or-dad-was-a-paid-gig#post-51232 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:36:07 +0000 mrs. wagon 51232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The government kind of does give you a stipend... on your tax return! Haha. When RJ was born (Dec 11) our accountant said "great! we can claim him for this year and he's only been alive less than a month!" haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-that-being-a-sah-mom-or-dad-was-a-paid-gig#post-51207 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:41:01 +0000 tequiero21 51207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha would be awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-that-being-a-sah-mom-or-dad-was-a-paid-gig#post-51201 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:33:46 +0000 polkadots 51201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would sure be nice to help with bills! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-that-being-a-sah-mom-or-dad-was-a-paid-gig#post-51195 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:25:31 +0000 Mrs.KMM 51195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would certainly be nice but I'll also be perfectly happy to do it for free! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-that-being-a-sah-mom-or-dad-was-a-paid-gig#post-51185 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:16:26 +0000 DillonLion 51185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would be cool if the government would give you a stipend or something! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-that-being-a-sah-mom-or-dad-was-a-paid-gig#post-51184 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:15:35 +0000 chopsuey 51184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! $1 an hour is better than nothing! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-that-being-a-sah-mom-or-dad-was-a-paid-gig#post-51155 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:54:36 +0000 MamaMoose 51155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooo yes! Also, I would like benefits such as paid time off, sick days, health care, and a 401K with matching contributions!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-that-being-a-sah-mom-or-dad-was-a-paid-gig#post-51153 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:51:20 +0000 mrbee 51153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! I think our little ones should accrue a mommy/daddy debt to us, and then pay us back when they start earning a salary. Or barring that, the government should pay us minimum wage haha.</p> <p>Just kidding! Still, it'd be nice though wouldn't it? Even just one dollar an hour. :-) </p>
