Father's Day

Insure.com calculated what they deemed to be daddy duties, including things such as barbecuing, killing bugs and mowing the lawn. The study found the domestic tasks would total about $20,248 a year if they were paid work. That compared to $60,182 annually for moms for doing things such as cooking, cleaning and nursing wounds. The value of the work was based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for how much similar jobs out in the real work world would pay.
Another study by Salary.com found that the value of what working dads do at home is actually rising. The company looked at online responses from nearly 3,000 dads who reported on the number of hours they put into tasks at home, including everything from cooking to driving kids around, and found the value of what the dads did jumped to $36,757 this year from $33,858 the previous year. A previous study of work done by working moms found what the moms do at home is valued at $66,979, compared to $63,471 in 2011.(http://lifeinc.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/06/12/12168909-dads-household-duties-worth-less-than-moms?lite).


It looks like inflation is hitting the dad's work around the house.  My dad died when I was 5 though I had a lot of stepdads.

It looks like my grandkids have great dads.  Happy Father's Day!
