Irish Life did some interesting research (full infographic here) on ‘what a mother is worth.

It’s fascinating to see the difference of perception versus reality towards a mothers contribution to a household and the cost it would require to replace what they do.

This doesn’t factor in issues such as many dads being damn near useless by comparison – which is not easily statistically expressed, but anecdotally those that match mothers pound for pound are not common.

Just an interesting few thoughts for the day, and a reminder of the value and importance of mothers contribution to their households (hope we see a similar showing on Father’s day!)
