Working the number of hours we do - really makes the hourly
Amount small. |

And hard to compare with a normal job. Are we better off financially working at home in our own business or get a job somewhere else?

I think since our job is so unlike a "normal" job it's hard to compare! Long hours=bad fun, teaching/loving kids=good, pay=probably not as good, get to make dinner, do household chores etc=good. ha ha pro's & con's for our job should probably be a whole new thread |

I didn't learn a lot of "life skills" from my parents because they both worked full time. Then I moved out and got married, and it took me, man, a good 5 years at LEAST to feel comfortable with mature adult things like cleaning and cooking. I LOVE that my kids, (3, 5, and 7) think that chores are no big deal, and really understand food and nutrition. All cons aside, the far reaching benefits for my kids make it worth it. That being said... sometimes it's depressing to me that the "pros" involve doing laundry and making dinner. Sometimes I think "really? Is this really my life? What has happened to me??" But I just turned 30 so I think that may be my mid-mid life crisis talking. |

I take 8 full time kids.. If I tally it before expenses are taken out I made $21.00 per hour. After expenses it came out to $13.75 per hour.

I probably make less than minimum wage but honestly, the benefits and perks to this job FAR outweigh that thought.
