A Mother's Worth

I have such mixed feelings when I see studies like this.

I understand the intentions behind them. Truly. I have been belittled and demeaned by men and women alike for my choices. And God knows entire political parties value only that which they can assign a dollar amount.

But I'm not sure what this accomplishes. Mothering is so much more than the sum of our chores, for women who work outside the home as well.
