She’s really cleaning up.
A stay-at-home mother’s work is never really done. It is, however, worth a sizable stipend, according to married mom Amber Aubrey.
So, the pro homemaker claims to hit her hubby with a nearly $3,000 weekly fee for cooking, sweeping and breastfeeding.
“This is what I charge my husband for my stay-at-home mom services,” Aubrey said in a tongue-in-cheek, yet trending testimonial with over 4.2 million TikTok views. “My husband gets paid tomorrow, so that means he will pay me out tomorrow as well.”
“I charge $20 per load of dishes that I do — that’s about $300 per week,” continued the brunette, rattling off her dough-worthy duties. “I charge $35 per load of laundry and I do that about four times a week [which costs him] about $140. I charge $60 per bathroom per clean — that ends up being about $240 a week.”
Her list of lucrative chores went on to include grocery shopping, homeschooling and chauffeuring the kids, amounting to a grand total of $2,700 every seven days.
“If he wants to save money he can help me do any of these tasks,” she chimed.
Aubrey, who’s either pulling social media’s leg or actually making bank by demanding an arm and a leg, is waking up the world to the true value of a housewife’s hard labor.
Although oft-considered a thankless job, experts have found that domestic engineers — women (and sometimes men) who forgo the rat race to raise their families and run their homes — would pocket a pretty penny if they were actually compensated for their output.
In fact, researchers recently determined that stay-at-home moms in NYC do just over $4,300 in chores each month.
Alyssa “Ally” Dee, 28, an unabashed traditional (or “trad”) wife, rakes in $100 per week from her groom, who gladly forks over the cash as a “thank you” for her in-house grind.
“My husband employs me to take care of the home,” the millennial and former military woman told news channel Truly. “It’s the best job I’ve ever had.”
Aubrey echoed similar sentiments.
“It makes me the breadwinner of my household,” she bragged to stunned online fans — most of whom applauded her for bringing home the bank, but argued that she was “undercharging” for all of her back-breaking support.
Here is a look at Aubrey’s cheeky, costly checklist.
- $20 per load of dishes (2-3 times a day, 5 days per week)
- $35 per load of laundry (4 times per week)
- $60 per bathroom, per clean (twice per week)
