Husband rants online that his stay-at-home wife is too costly for him

Must read

Steven and Gloria Nelms have been married for 3 years now. They also have a child name Ezra. Soon after his birth, it was decided that Gloria would leave her job to become a housewife since she could take care of the baby and also this would be beneficial in financial terms.

Stephen wrote in his blog that Gloria’s income wouldn’t be enough to cover for childcare costs and that’s why she decided to stay as a housewife. However, he recently realized that he actually couldn’t afford his wife as a stay-at-home mother.

Gloria takes care of her new-born all the time. She is responsible for most of the duties such as changing diapers, feeding him, putting him to sleep and also interacting with him. Now obviously Gloria, being her mother, should be naturally performing these tasks, but what if she was charging money? How much would that cost?

Stephen researched about this intensively and has finally come to the following conclusion –

  • Average salary of a nanny – $36,660 per year ($705 weekly)
  • Cleaning lady – $5,200 per year
  • Shopper who will buy necessary items from the market – $65 per hour, which amounts to $13,520 per year if 4 hours per week are considered
  • Cook – $12,480 per year
  • Laundry – $25 per week, which leads to $1,300 per year
  • Professional interactions – $75 per hour, so if 3 dinner per year are considered each taking 4 hours that amounts to $900 per year
  • Financial assistant – $3,900 per year

The total cost is $73,960 in one year. And these prices are on the lower side. After looking at the total, Stephen realized that he couldn’t really pay for this. And this made him realize that her wife should have complete freedom to use his salary to buy whatever item she wants and he shouldn’t stop her.

Obviously, Gloria isn’t staying at home and caring about her baby and Stephen for the money but still he always will keep in mind the fact that his salary is only half of what her salary could be.
