How Much Is A Mother Worth?

Lloyd try going to http://www.pandora.com and do a search for Shirley Ceaser and search for the song No Charge. I always go to that site for the old time gospels.

i agree with you that a mother is never within the measure of money. treasures so dear will never have a price tag which can justify its price. love is priceless, love is boundless. a mother's love nurtures life and no one can put a price on life.

Thanks a lot. Will check it out. Lloyd

"It is said that when god could not come to this world for every child so he made mother." Thank you for that wonderful reply. I'm sure everyone here at MyLot would agree with you. LLoyd

It is said that when God could not come to this world for every child so he made mother. How beautiful are these words Sunita, I will always remember this. Thank you for sharing this.

wow, nice words sunita! :)

A million times a million times a million, times a million sound about right. lol Your mother is a great person. I can tell just by the way you speak of her. I wish you and her the best. Lloyd

i think you're right i"m sorry i can't say the same about my mother but i 'll try to be the best mom for my little girl

That would be one hell of a payday. I'm sure you deserve every dollar. Happy mother's day. Lloyd

I forgot about putting peacekeeper in her resume. That definately is a big part of motherhood when there is more than one child involved. You are right. No one could afford her. Lloyd

I raised 4 all alone wonder when i get paid?LOL

Thanks for your reply. $160k per year still sounds a little low to me. Lloyd

This is fantasy land... No-ones earn 160K a year. How much are you paying her an hour? What's her qualifications? If someone was capable to earn 160K a year... they would either not have a child or pay someone to look after their child. If you add up the hours of the child being at school, sitting on the front of the television or playing games... her time spend with the child is about 4 hours a day. It is only during the first 5 years that she has to spend a lot of time with the child. What about all the working moms? They are the prime example that a child is not a full time job.

I just hope that people don't take for granted the challenges that all the mothers face each and every day. Lloyd

Thanks for presenting the first opposing position. I'm sure looking to what others think about it. Lloyd

"Priceless" is a word that has been used over and over again. And it fits the description perfectly. Lloyd

Hello Howard. Good to see you again. Just imagine the size of the staff you would need to replace mom. You'd need a cook, nanny, driver, nurse and much more. I agree with you. You can't put a price on this one. Lloyd

I would hope everyone would take care of their parents as they become elderly. Thanks for the reply. Lloyd

Thanks for your reply. A Mother's love is priceless. Lloyd

Hello and Happy Mother's day to you. We've had estimates running from $140,000 to $160,000 per year. At least people are beginning to respect the value of a good mother. Lloyd

Thank you for your reply and I'd like to wish all the mothers in the Phillipines a Happy Mother's Day also. Lloyd

"PRICELESS" seems to be the key word in regards to this discussion. Thanks, Lloyd

Now that I think about it, my mother also put up with a lot of crap from all of us too. There's no way you can put a dollar value on mothers. Lloyd

Hello Irisheyes. Happy Mother's Day to you. $140,000 per year seems like minimum wage for al the things she has to do run the family. It would be nice if every Mother could be cut a check for $140,000 every year. Lloyd

Many here at MyLot have mentioned how priceless mothers are. Your mother sounds like a special lady. Happy Mother's Day to both of you. Lloyd

I'm sorry to hear about the relationship between you and your mother. I hope you can patch things up real soon. I hope you will get to go home soon and visit. Lloyd

she risked her life delivering me into this world so if my life had a value, that would be how much she is worth. I know my siblings would agree on this too, even if they also don't get along well with her

Hello. Nice to see you again. Hope you've been well. One of the earliest responses to this discussion went like this. "Hi Lloyd. There's no way to measure the worth of a mother. Have you ever listened to the song by Shirley Ceaser called No Charge? Being a mother entails a lot of labor of love. It's the best source of giving and receiving love." Now I know I have to find that tune. It must be a great song to have 2 people recommend it. LLoyd

Thanks for responding so quickly lloydanthony, I have been reading the responses and I did not see the one that you mention. Could you tell me the number of the post? "For the toys, food and clothes and for wiping your nose, there is no charge son...when you add it all up the real cost of my love is no charge. For the nights filled with dread and the worries ahead, there is no charge. For advise, food and knowledge and the cost of your college, no charge. The song begins with a little boy giving his Mom a list of what she should pay him for his chores around the house. I am listening to the song right now...For the 9 months I carried you, no charge. For the time and the tears and the cost through the years, no charge. I am just typing parts of the song, but I know the song for years...my children are 29 and 31 and they remember me playing the song...I also played the number that is in the song, 1475, that number I have hit in the lottery a few times over the years, and I always used some of it to buy some things for my children. I hope you get to hear the song soon, let me know if you like it. Take care...

The number of the post is 10. From what you've written, it sounds like a great song. I will do a search for it. Thanks. Lloyd

Thank you for that wonderful reply to this discussion. You are so right. Every day should be Mother's Day. Lloyd
