   Wasn’t there a study a while ago that said that if stay at home mothers got paid proportional to the work they did, they’d be six-figure earners?

   Apparently the people in the test assumed ‘work’ as having outside employment, which isn’t an uncommon assumption in the United States and probably also not uncommon in the rest of the westernized world. Take the same test to a different culture and you’ll probably get a different result.

   The way the questions were worded, it is clear they are asking about the character’s “outside work”. The participants weren’t expected to include housework. But those who are telecommuters suffer from the perception that they don’t work as many hours at their jobs when they are labeled as a SAHM or SAHD. The label itself seems to imply that the worker was “at home” because of the kids, not because it’s a job they CAN do from home.
