Um, sorry, stay-at-home dads. Apparently not only are you unmanly, but the work you do just doesn't cut it. In fact, according to a new stupid study by Salary.com, you deserve less phantom money than do the reviled-but-evidently-harder-working-than-you stay-at-home-moms.
See, the thing is, you're not working enough overtime. You're only putting in some 80 hours a week at this Dad Thing, while the stay-at-home moms put in more than 90. It could be that you're more efficient at your work, couldn't it? Why yes, and it also could be that you're watching too much Scott Baio. So you only don't get $128,755, while SAHMs don't get $138,000.
However, dads with jobs also deserve an additional $72,000 for the work they do around the house. That's a LOT of lawn-mowing.
I don't know why calculating your worth as a dad in terms of salary (that you'll never see) is useful, but if you want to do it, go ahead. And then give yourself a hug, for being you.
