I think this is a great idea, and it should become a govenment holiday.
Consider this:
The average American works 1,978 hours a year, or 38 hours a week -- the highest rate in the industrialized world.
Slackers.
Stay-at-home moms work upwards of 14 hours a day, seven days a week. Plus, they're on call 24/7. That's nearly 100 hours a week with no vacation days, no sick days and no holidays -- until now.
On Monday, June 30th, 2008, MommaSaid.net will sponsor the sixth annual "Please Take My Children to Work Day," a holiday for part- and full-time stay-at-home mothers.
Moms around the world are encouraged to take the day off, or at least part of it, by finding a relative, neighbor, friend or babysitter to take care of the kids.

Go, MOMS! :flowerforyou: I'm a single career mom, and boy what I'd give to be an at home mom! :happy: It takes an amazing woman to stay at home and take care of house: kids, cleaning, shopping, bill paying, nursing, laundering, repairing, cooking, playing, romancing, keeping appointments, etc. It's like 10 jobs in 1!0
