Research just in claims the value of a mother - IF you could put a figure on it - equates to an annual salary of £30k.
The figure is based on what it would cost to pay someone else to do all the UNPAID work us mums do around the home.
To replace a dad with hired help would cost an estimated at £21,306.
The findings come from Legal and General's 'Value of a Mum' survey which has has been released today.
It found that many mums spend an extra NINE hours a week with their kids compared to dad - even though many of the them work full-time outside the home, too.
And mums who only work part-time don't have it much easier – their value has been estimated at £28,664 compared to the £31,523 value of those who don't work at all.
The research shows the day to day costs of looking after children have gone up 8.3% over the last two years, rising from £132 a week to £143, increasing by 31% since 1999 when the figure was £109.
