When Girl Meets 30

Happy Mother’s Day! Some Fun Mom Facts

May 8, 2011 By Erin Kennedy 2 Comments


We all know, whether we are mom’s or not, that being a mom is in fact, the toughest and most rewarding job in the world. Don’t we all wish we got a salary for being a mom? What would it be? According to some insurance agency’s and their analysts here is what they said:

Average Salary Per Year: $61,436 – In my opinion that seems a little low. But hey, what do I know?
Includes 14 Different Jobs: including driver, cook, maid services, nursing responsibilities.
Childcare: Would pay $20,696 per year.

First Mother’s Day: May 10, 1908; Founded by Anna Jarvis; made a national holiday in 1914 by President Wilson.
Cost of Raising a child: Middle-income families spend $242,070 to raise a child to age 18. That does not include college!
First Year Baby Costs: $7,000 before 1st birthday.
Mom Who Had the Most Kids: Mrs. Vassilyev in Russia gave birth to 69 children between 1725 and 1765. I personally do not see how that is possible. Insane!
Laundry: 88% is done by moms, totaling 330 load of laundry per year and 5,300 articles of clothing.
Least Favorite Chore: Vacuuming the stairs. I can vouch for that!
Diaper Changes: 7,300 by child’s 2nd birthday.
Modern moms average: 2 children. 1950 was 3.5 kids, and 1700s was 7-10 kids.
First-time Moms: Average age of new moms is 25, vs. 21 in 1970.

Some Research suggests that moms who give birth later in life, live longer. Good news for those of us that will have babies in our 30’s.


Happy Mother’s Day!
